Overview
The “Heroes of Pearl Harbor” (R66) is a package design set that was most likely issued in 1942 by the Candyland Company of Brooklyn, New York. There were two “Heroes” on each candy-box. When properly cut from the candy-box, the cards measure 1⅞ × 3 inches. There are currently 8 known titles in the set. This would imply that only 4 complete candy-boxes were associated with the collection. However, we’ve yet been able to confirm this assumption. The blank-backed cards are red and blue with some white accents, and are not numbered. The cards were machine &scored on the left and right edges and have nubs to facilitate easy removal from the candy-box. The American Card Catalog reference number is R66.
