Lot 1. Rare Pair of 1922 E120 American Caramel Card “Stars of Baseball” Albums. The American Caramel Co. of York, PA, certainly needs no introduction, but these albums are scarce enough that they just might. One album is for cards of National League teams, and the other, for the American League. With gold lettering on heavy black stock, each is designed to hold 120 cards over 8 pages and measures 11 1/8” x 11 7/8”. The albums are arranged by team, with a manager’s name at the top of each horizontal page and space for 15 cards. The space for each player is identified. The covers are extremely decorative, with vintage artwork surrounding the “Stars of Baseball” logo. Both albums are unused. The NL album has a 1” split along the bottom of the spine and a light corner crease. The AL album has two soft creases at the bottom left corner. These conditions are mentioned for accuracy. Both are unused, with no marks of any kind on the pages. Both have an ex-m to nm appearance. These albums turn up infrequently, and these are the finest examples we have seen. They are a must-have complement to an E120 collection!
