Issued
in 1940 by the R. & J. Hill LTD, this 2 1/2"

Another
card from Cadbury's but not quite as scarce and valuable
as the pre-sinking card and certainly more modern. This
is #17 from the 1970 "Strange but True" set.
Although it shows a picture of the Titanic sinking on
front, the primary topic and story on back of this card
is "Icebergs Can Kill." It is in mint condition
and is almost 3" long.

Issued
in Germany in the 1930's(?) this is part of a set titled
"Seefahrt" (Seafaring or Sea voyages) and
was to be placed in an album. On the top of the back
it basically says "The passengership 'Titanic'
sinks in the night of 15 April, 1912 after hitting an
iceberg." The rest of the back tells how to order
the album.
