Claudette Colbert ~
This card #23 from the Bunte Filmbilder cigarette card series. It is a vintage 1936 original. The gilt edges show minor wear but it is still a nice example: VF. The card is roughly the size of a British or American cigarette card (about 1¼"x2¼").
Claudette Colbert, French born American actress interpreted a number of minor roles on both the stage and screen before finding her niche in Frank Capra's It Happened One Night. Although Colbert won the best actress Oscar for her performance, neither she nor co-star Clark Gable had particularly wanted to make the film. It is for sophisticated comedy that Colbert is best remembered.

This lot consists of a genuine German cigarette premium issued between about 1930 and 1937. In general, German cigarette cards and premiums make an interesting and inexpensive addition to any collection. The Nazi government of Germany opposed smoking and eventually put an end to cigarette cards. As a result, the native German card collecting hobby never developed to the extent of that in Britain or the United States. As a result, most German premiums and cards cost only a fraction of what might be expected from their American and British cousins.
Large photos are shown smaller than actual size while small ones are generally enlarged to as much as twice their original size. Almost all photos and cards are scanned through protective sleeves or pages which tends to cut the clarity a bit. Enlarged defects tend to look worse than they actually are. Minimum postage (for a small card) is just a buck for standard shipping in a card reinforces envelope and feel free to accumulate many lots for the same postage. 5"x7" photos require additional postage. I'm sorry but because of changes made by the US Postal Service in May 2007, shipping in a StayFlattm mailer now requires $2 postage. You may still accumulate many lots for the same postage in the same StayFlattm.
