1957 Anglo American Gum Sports Gallery Gum Wrappers

Country of origin: England
Size: 2-1/8" x 2-5/8"

The images and info for this set have been shared with us from the collection of Retro Baloncesto. The Anglo American chewing gum company wrapped their sticks of gum with colorful comics that depicted all types of fun facts and images, including sports. The general topic would be part of a numbered set, probably a marketing ploy encouraging people to chew more gum in order to obtain them all. The "Sports Gallery" set included 1 basketball wrapper, #23, that featured the Harlem Globetrotters. Dates for this wrapper vary but the majority of examples are listed as 1957 or 1958.
