Peerless Scale Cards:
This set of cards was dispensed from Peerless Ticket Issuing scales back in the 1920s. People were encouraged to weigh themselves daily for health reasons and by doing so could collect the entire set of movie stars and recording artists. On the back was printed your fortune as well as the date and your weight. The cards measure approximately 2 1/8" by 1 1/8".
These card sets are new old stock and are in factory fresh condition. Stocks are limited.
They might also fit stamp machines, as the thickness is about the same as a stamp folder, or just great to have a complete collection.
