1-7/8x2-5/8". 1945-46 Caramelo Deportivo baseball card set. Printed in black and white on very thin paper, the cards were intended to be pasted into an album. Fronts have a card number but no player identification, which instead appears on the back along with biographical data and the name of the manufacturer. Many former and future Major Leaguers and stars of the Negro Leagues are found on the checklist (found in the Standard Catalogue Of Vintage Baseball Cards), oftentimes marking their only career contemporary baseball card appearance.

Lloyd Benjamon Davenport (1911 – 1985) was an American baseball outfielder who played for several clubs of the Negro and Minor leagues during 17 seasons. He was nicknamed "Ducky". A five-time Negro league All-Star, he also played in the Cuba, Mexico and Venezuela leagues.
