Starting in the 1930s and every year through 1954, Dixie Lids issued a set of movie star pictures on their now famous ice cream lids. In conjunction with the lids, 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 8x10”, in full color, and had pre-punched holes for placing in a binder.
