Complete set of 10 stamp albums titled OUR AMERICA by the Coca Cola Bottling Company. They were distributed, along with a teacher’s manual, to public schools throughout the USA from 1942-1949. Each album contained spaces for 20 picture cards, which were pasted along the top edge to allow students to lift the card and read the description underneath. The albums were intended to promote the development of key industries and their byproducts affecting Americans. The artwork is excellent, full of detail and its colors are vibrant. The history of the albums began in 1942 when a teacher and author, Frederick Houk Law, composed four visual instruction booklets (later the teacher’s manuals) on the subjects of cotton, oil, steel and electricity. Coca Cola became interested and hired famous artist W.C. Wyneth (1882-1945) of Massachusetts to illustrate several striking posters and drawings to create Our America school booklets. Six other picture card sets followed. The albums came in two sizes: 20x28cm and 18x26cm. The complete run of 10 albums offered here are complete with 20 picture cards each. An interesting piece of American popular culture spanning WW2 and the early post-war years on America’s developing economy and affluence. mB

Note: Eclipse Comics was an American comic book publisher, one of several independent publishers during the 1980s and early 1990s. In 1978, it published the first graphic novel intended for the newly created comic book specialty store market. It was one of the first to offer royalties and creator ownership of rights, and the first comics company to publish trading cards.
The company was founded as Eclipse Enterprises by brothers Jan and Dean Mullaney in 1977.During the early 1980s, Eclipse moved several times, settling finally in Forestville in Sonoma County, California. During the 1980s, Eclipse brought out a new line of non-fiction, non-sports trading cards. Controversial political subjects such as the Iran-Contra scandal, the Savings and Loan crisis, the AIDS epidemic, and the Kennedy Assassination, as well as true crime accounts of serial killers, mass murderers, the Mafia, and organized crime were covered in these card sets. One of the last sets they produced was on AIDS awareness and featured a free condom with every package of cards. There was such a controversy over these cards that several groups fought Eclipse in the courts to have the cards banned. In 1986, Eclipse lost most of its back-issue comics stock in a flood. This event, along with personal problems of the owners, and the mid-1990s collapse of the direct market distribution system, caused the company to cease operations in 1994 and file for bankruptcy in 1995.
