CHOCOLAT DE L’UNION SPORTS SÉRIE X, NO. 3 BASKETT-BALL (FRANCE)
Chocolat De L'Union was a French chocolate company that produced cards that were released with it's products from the turn of the century until the 1950s. This particular set was released in 1934 and came in a series of subjects of 10 cards each. The exact number of series is unknown but I have seen Series 12, so there are at least that many. This card was in their illustrated sports series 10 and is the only basketball card example I've seen in any of their sets. The card originally came with a redemption tab at the perforated bottom and the reverse mentions you could send in these tags for gifts. The redemption tab is missing from this card.
