Spanish Mini Chocolate Card Fold Outs

This is a great, random item. The front of this mini booklet reads, "Galeria de las Estrellas del Cine," which translates to Gallery of the Stars of the Cinema. This was created from the Amatller Chocolate Company. There are fold out cards depicting Valentino from The Sheik, Blood and Sand, The Young Rajah, and Moran of the Lady Letty. I love finding items like this. I had no ideas things like this existed. It still amazes me just how many items are out there!

Rare Spanish Silent Movie Playing Cards

This is a playing card from a rare set of silent movie cards. I do not have a great deal of information on this set, only that it is from a Spanish Chocolate company. A complete set would be quite valuable. The Valentino card by itself would be valuable as well due to the rarity. This is another great item, I had no idea this was out there!

Spanish Rudolph Valentino Chocolate Card

The is a Spanish Chocolate card from the Amatller Chocolate company out of Barcelona. I believe this card was produced from the 1930's. The card appears to depict a color photo from the film, "The Eagle." While most chocolate and tobacco cards are not extremely valuable. I find them to be a wonderful collectible item from the 20's and 30's that you will not pay an exorbitant amount of money for.

Rare Domino Style Rudolph Valentino Chocolate Card

This is a rare Spanish domino style chocolate card. The card was produced by The Jaime Boix Chocolate Company. The card depicts Valentino and Mary Pickford. There was a whole set of these produced with various silent stars. I have never come across any of these, I would estimate these would bring a premium price compared to other chocolate and tobacco cards.

Rare Spanish Rudolph Valentino Chocolate Card

This is a rare Spanish Chocolate Card. I do not have a great deal of information about this card. The photo appears to be from the set of The Young Rajah. This was on ebay years ago and I saved the picture. Even though this is a rare card, that is not too often found, most of the tobacco and chocolate cards are not extremely valuable...well except to people like me who are looking for one of everything.

Amatller Chocolates 18 Card Rudolph Valentino Card Set

This is an awsome 18 card set from Amatller Chocolates out of Barcelona Spain. This card set when put together creates a large Valentino collage that depicts Valentino in a tuxedo in the middle with various photos from his films. A complete set in good condition is very difficult to find.

Rare Chocolate Card

This is a rare Spanish Chocolate Card, tobacco style. I am unsure of the date; however, I do know that it is very rare. Most tobacco style cards from the 20's and 30's are in black and white. This is an awesome color photo of Valentino. Still looking for this one.
