PALLA AL CESTO (BALL TO THE BASKET) (VARIANT) CARDS, UNKNOWN PUBLISHER/UNCLASSIFIED (ITALY)
These cards are very similar to the Palla Al Cesto cards shown above but vary slightly. They are slightly smaller in size and have rounded corners. The rounded corners are uniform and seem intentional, especially when viewed from the reverse and compared with the squared off, cornered examples already discussed. The publisher is also unknown but I assume it's the same as the previous cards, as the font lettering and style match. The year is presumed to be early to mid 1920s when comparing these photos to Italian basketball photos of that period.
Measurements: 1.125" x 1.9375"
