Picked these up today in a box marked “old post cards”, at an estate sale. I am no expert in this area, but, I think these are arcade cards. There is nothing on the back, just blank cardboard.
They include Wm Desmond, Wm. S. Hart, Hoot Gibson, Jack Holt, & Tom Tyler.
The Tom Tyler card is for the movie “The Cowboy Musketeer”, which was a silent movie that came out in 1925.
The corner of the Wm. Desmond card says to "cut coupon on this line, EXHIBIT." I am glad nobody did!
The bottom of the Jack Holt card says “Jack Holt Disarms The Greaser.”
They are all made by Ex. Sup. Co., Chicago.

BELLIN68,
Thank you for the love, and I wish you the best Christmas and holiday season.
THANKYOU packrat-place and you very welcome :)
Well, I am not sure what I missed, because it was all gone. You know what they say: "if you snooze, you lose."
AR8Jason,
I know the feeling of helping, I volunteer four days a week at the VA hospital. I am a patient escort, and take wheelchair bound vets to their appointments. The majority are WW II and Korea vets, some Viet Nam. I put in six hours a day, and have met some amazing people!
You Guys are Great ! Friends Helping Friends -- A very important part of this Life! If we all follow that example, this World would be an even Better Place. God Bless and MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE !!
packrat-place, Wanted to say, but "Happy Holidays" to You and Yours. And Thanks for all the support you've shown in the past, very appreciated!!
Thank you very much for the kinds words musikchoo, AR8Jason, kerry10456, BELLIN68, & Manikin.
I am just glad I get the chance to help, it is time for me to give back. A statistic a lot of people are not aware of is that 700-1000 WW II vets die every day, and virtually all will be gone by 2020.
Working there is a huge reality check.
I wish all my CW friends a very joyous holiday season, and I hope the New Year brings good things to everybody.
Chuck
