lot of 6 different.

Vintage, original , authentic ,  silent movie star b/w small size advertising local trade card lot for store businesses in Morganton W. VA.  ( West Virginia )

not dated , all non-sport cards believed to be from about 1916-1917 era.

popular silent movie stars of the 1910's.

five cards have backside of a local business advertisement printed on card for " J. R. Nuzum Plumbing and Heating , 218 Wall St , Morgantown , W. VA. "  ( West Virginia )

1 card backside reads " S. A.  Phillips Music Co" Pianos , Victor , Victorals , " The New Edison " Phonograph.  Complete line of Victor and Edison Records.

bottom of backside of each card reads  " Strand Theatre "

another different movie star card I have which is NOT included in this lot reads "One of these picture cards given free with each ten cent purchase. "

fairly rare and seldom offered , being not numbered , I do not know how many cards are in the set.   Some advertisements are from other different local businesses , in different cities & states.   See my other listings.

card size aprox 2" x 3  3/8" inchs.  

sites on the internet should give you lots of information about each star , I used Wikipedia.

overall fair to good used condition , decent for age.

NOTE - all cards will have one or more surface creases across card , and show wear around edges / corners.  Still a nice picture image of 100 years ago.   Most cards have some light pencil writing to backside.

unusual & very hard to find , southern advertising movie star small cards.   Stars included in this lot are:

Helen Holmes

Flora Finch

Betty Schade

Charlotte Walker
