Description: This is a vintage set of 1950 Nabisco Shredded Wheat Cards from the Straight Arrow Book No. 2. The set includes 35 of 36 cards featuring the iconic Nabisco brand and the popular Shredded Wheat cereal. The cards are in their original state and have not been modified. The set is perfect for collectors interested in vintage advertising and food memorabilia. Straight Arrow was a radio character owned wholly by Nabisco, which sponsored the show. He was an orphaned Native American boy who had been raised by a ranching family and took their name of Adams. It was not until he discovered his Indian heritage that he became “Straight Arrow” – an alternate identity he used to do good and help the unfortunate. This character was full blown in comic books issued by Magazine Enterprises, and in the radio shows. Of particular interest here are the inserts that were included in boxes of Shredded Wheat from 1949 to 1952, a total of 4 books of 36 cards – or 144 cards in total. Also of interest to Straight Arrow collectors are the Nabisco Theater cards, the first group of which portrayed Straight Arrow characters.
