New acquisitions: Kwatta collectors cards from Belgium

Recently I found a series of Belgian collectors cards at Delcampe, which were published in or around 1950 by the chocolate factory Kwatta in Bois-d'Haine. During the late 1940s, Kwatta had produced sets of Film Star trading cards in black and white, which were issued with the Kwatta chocolates. These cards in colour were part of the C-series. At your local shop you could buy an album with the format 12 X 17,5 cm for 100 cards. The album was named Ciné Stars. On the cover was a lion, which referred to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
