1950s Howdy Doody Card FC65 Nabisco Cereal Canada Exclusive Scuttlebutt Ship

Description: This scarce card was issued in Canada by the Nabisco Shredded Wheat Company of Canada. One was inserted into each box Nabisco Shredded Wheat. Burdick list this series as FC65 in his American Card Catalog. I have not been able to find a definitive date of issue. However I speculate that is was more than likely some time in the 1950’s era. The title of the series is “Howdy Doody Doodles of Fun” I also have never been able to ascertain how many were in the series but I have personally seen 12 different cards. Each card features a fun activity for a child to do using characters from the Howdy Doody Television show. The instructions are printed in both English and French. The card back is blank as it was issued. This card features a MAZE FOR CAPTAIN SCUTTLEBUTT'S SHIP According to the Non-Sports Bible these cards were never issued in the US. The Card measures 7 3/8 inches by 4 inches approximately. The card does have a spot of edge wear, but is free from major creases with relatively sharp corners . I have scanned the front and back of the card fairly large so you can determine the condition for yourself. THESE CARDS WERE NEVER ISSUED IN THE U.S.A Due to the lower population in Canada than in the US, print runs in Canada were much smaller compared with American Cards. Because of this the majority of all Canadian non sports cards are far scarcer than card issued in the USA.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.

Due to my work schedule and distance to the post office I am only able to ship Monday Mornings. If I haven’t received payment for an item by Sunday evening, the item will have to wait until the next Monday to go out. Its unfortunate but unavoidable.
