Crescent Confectionery (1926) - Footballers - 8th Series of 10


1927-28
Footballers - 8th Series of 10
Crescent Confectionery

10 cards in set

As the title suggests there were 10 different series, each of 10 cards. Series 8 was football, series 9 was cricket. I don't know what the other series were, anyone know?
The football series consists of the following cards, I'm still trying too find out which player features on card no. 4.
UPDATE (09-10-2023 17:03):  Date amended to 1927-28. Read Carl Wilkes' amazing biography of this company here - The Crescent Confectionery Co. Ltd.
