DIXIE CUP LIDS
This Dixie Lid series began in 1930 and ended in 1954, small Dixie ice cream cups were distributed with lids containing different pictures.
Starting in 1933 and continuing through 1954, Dixie issued a set of movie star pictures on their lids and in some years issued a
Series of Baseball Players. Most of the movie star Dixie Lid sets consisted of 24 lids. The final 1954 set only contained 18 Movie
Stars lids in full color and a separate Set of 18 Baseball Players in black and white. After the first few years, Dixie began
alternating blue color lids with brownish color lids. The blue lids were issued in every even year from 1938 to 1952,
while the brownish lids were issued in every odd year.
Most of the movie star lids contain the title of a recent movie for the pictured star. Dixie lids were custom made for many
different ice cream makers. Dixie included advertising for the ice cream companies on the top of the lid and the movie star picture
on the underside of the lid. Lids can be found for many different companies, you'll have to view the actual image to determine the
ice cream maker. The movie star picture on Dixie Lids was facing the ice cream. A thin piece of wax paper was put on top of the movie
star picture to protect the ink. A few baseball players and other athletes were also sprinkled into the 1937 and 1938 movie star lid sets.
Dixie also had a premium program where 12 Dixie Lids could be traded for one large picture of a chosen movie star. These large premiums
were usually 8 x 10 inches.
