1953 Kimarite Bromide 0 Set

    Description:  I'm not sure how this set was issued, but it could have been with pieces of candy.  The set ranges from 1953 to 1954 and has nice black and white photos of the rikishi.  This really isn't a menko set as it doesn't have a Gu-Choki-Pa or Fighting Number on the back.  There is a possibility that two sets have been mixed into one here because there are two different styles of shikona on the front.
