We used a card from the "Goldfilm" series as our Card of the Day for the 14th of May, 2024, but by Salem Cigarettenfabrik, G.m.b.H, also of Dresden.
In fact that link will tell you that this series, and series two, a total of 450 cards, were issued by four German cigarette companies and a Dutch one - though not all of the companies issued both the sets.
And in case you haven`t worked it out already, they are named "Goldfilm" because the star portraits are backed by a golden backdrop.
The cards first appear in our original World Tobacco Issues Index as : -
- CONSTANTIN GOLDFILM (Constantin Goldfilm Series) Sm. 60 x 40. See X.24/9.B ... C122-13
1. "Serie 1". Nd. 1/180
2. "Serie 2". Nd. 181/450 (270)
The X.24 reference links to the Handbook, and "X.24" is a separate section devoted to German Language Issues. The full text appears with Card of the Day for the 14th of May, 2024, but the part relating to our set reads
- X24/9. GOLDFILM SERIES. Small size, 60 x 40 m/m. Coloured pictures of Film Stars with gold background. Two series :-
1. "Serie 1". Numbered 1/180
2. "Serie 2". Numbered 181/450.
(a) German Language backs
B. Constantin. Titled "Constantin Goldfilm". (1) and (2) known.
By the time of our updated World Tobacco Issues Index nothing has changed, save the card code, and the omission of the code that leads you to the original version, by then long out of print, and so the entry reads : -
- CONSTANTIN GOLDFILM (Constantin Goldfilm Series) Sm. 60 x 40. .. C769-150
1. "Serie 1". (180)
2. "Serie 2". Nd. 181/450 (270)
