M331

1933 Dai Gunbai 0 Set

M331-1, Type 1: Purple Ink on Back

M331-2, Type 2: Green Ink on Back

    This is an interesting set from the early 1930s.  These are generic drawings of the rikishi with different kesho-mawashis and represent many rikishi of the past.  The backs show ranks, but they don't correspond to any specific time period of the rikishi and in fact, some have the yokozuna rank but were never yokozuna.  These also have the first known Gu-Choki-Pa marks on any menko!!
