CIOCCOLATO SALVI PALLA AL CESTO CARDS (ITALY)
The Cioccolato Chocolate Company was located in Milan and was in business for the majority of the 20th century. They released a few sports sets in the 1920s/1930s, the majority of which consisted of soccer (futbol) cards. These are the only Salvi cards featuring basketball that I've seen. It's unknown if there were any others in the set. Palla Al Cesto translates to Ball to the Basket and was regularly used until about 1930, when Pallacanestro (basketball) became universally used. Measurements: 1.375" x 2.125"
1927-28
