1939 Rikishi 6 Set

|
Description: This is one of about a dozen or so "human" sets produced in the 1930's. This style of sets was common during this decade and fortunately leads to easy identification of the year each was produced. This set uses actually photos of the rikishi superimposed on the body which makes the quality of these rather good. This set has a nice menko of Yokozuna Futabayama.

Card Size: 1.25" x 2.5" Card Material: Thick, paper stock

Front Design: This set features a drawing of the rikishi in their kesho-mawashi.
Back Design: Rikishi's shikona is in big bold kanji in the middle of the menko inside of a house shaped design. Weight is along the bottom left and height is in the bottom right. The rikishi's rank is in the upper right and a war themed word is in the upper left. I'm not sure what is in the very top in the circle that is cut in half. A 6 digit is along the very bottom. Backs are printed in purple ink.
