[content] => <p class="lead"><span class="dropcap" title="T-4">T</span>hese delightful little cards were given away – one at a time – with packets of sweet cigarettes. The unnamed subjects are birds (S), fish (H), butterflies (C), and flowers (D). The cards have square corners. This set has no jokers. The pattern on the reverse is made up of 98 small stars in 14 rows of 7.</p>
<p>Sweetule issued about 40 sets of trade/insert cards between 1954 and 1963. This was the only one to include playing-card symbols; most of the others came in sets of 25, 30 or 50 cards. A monogram CM (or MC) can be seen on several cards in this set, eg 7 & 10 of diamonds.</p>
