The movie that they were currently in is shown at the top of the lid. Nineteen of the 24 lids are in mint condition with some wear and creasing affecting 4 lids (Susanna Foster, Jimmy Wakely, Charles Starrett, Jimmy Wakely and Gail Russell. This sheet was made for HOODSIES Ice Cream and its interesting to note the band advertising Hoodsies extends past the dimensions of the lid so that it would be bled to the edge when cut.
