1960 Wilbur Shaw Card Indy 500 Winner Parkhurst Gum Hawes Wax V338-2 #27 Racing

Description: This scarce card is one in a series of 50 cards issued in Canada by PARKHURST PRODUCTS Limited of 11 Wabash Ave Toronto Ontario. No guide that I am aware of provide a specific date of issue however the back of the number 50 card in this series features a list of the 1959-60 Zip Hockey Contest that Parkhurst ran. Also the last Winner of the Indianapolis 500 listed is the one for 1959, therefore this series was issued in 1960 (thanks again to Bobby Burell for bringing this to my attention). The front features a colorful image of the winning Driver and Car for the featured year. There is a small note running across the bottom of the front of each card that states “Reproduced with the Permission of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corporation”. The back of the card features times and stats for the card and driver, in both English and French. The back also features an advertisement that states “Hey Mom-Don’t forget to buy Hawes, The finest in paste and liquid waxes”. Clearly this was an early attempt at cross over marketing. However because of this statement and the fact that there is no mention of Parkhurst on the card (a frustrating but fairly common occurrence with Parkhust sets) many collectors incorrectly identify this series as being issued by Hawes. I have seen the wrapper that these cards were distributed in and it clearly states that the series was issued by Parkhurst. This card is # 27 in the series and features the 1941 Winners of the Indy 500 Wilber Shaw The Card measures 3 5/8 inches by 2 7/16 inches approximately. The card does have creasing and wear. I have scanned the front and back of the card fairly large so you can determine the condition for yourself. I will be trying to list several EARLY TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few days (spread across different categories), including one or two that are unrecorded in any guide, that were put given away with Tobacco, Cigarettes , Caramel, Candy, Gum, Chocolate, Bread Coffee Tea Cereal and other products, covering such diverse subjects as Native American Indians , Baseball , Football, Boy Scouts, Ice Hockey, Golf, Presidents of the United States, NCAA and IVY League Colleges and Universities, Dog Breeds, Circus themes and many more.
