This is one of a set of six large poster stamps (#2245 – #2250) created in the early 1940s by Swiss firm Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG concerning ice hockey activities. The stamps were inserted inside the chocolate plates between the wrapper and the aluminium foil for children to collect them. The stamps are made of thin paper with dimension 2.4 x 3.1 inches.
