This card is one in a series of 40 cards issued
in Canada
by the NEILSON Chocolate Company. One was inserted
into each package of NEILSONS Chocolate
Bars. They are listed as V60 Type 1 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue, they are
entitled “Automobiles (Black &
White) ”. Although no guide that I know
of provides an actual date of issued
I have always assumed that it is
some time around the 1920-25 era due to the age of the cars featured. Each card
features a black and white (actually it is almost sepia tone rather than black
and white). photographic image of the
automobile. The
back states that there are 40 cards in the series and also has advertising for
Neilson’s Chocolates. This card number 14 in the series and features
a PACKARD EIGHT Car. The
Card measures 2 1/2 inches by 1 5/16
inches approximately. The card does have some edge and corner wear, but is free from major creases.
I have scanned the front and
back of the card fairly large so you can determine the condition for yourself.
I currently have more from this series listed on ebay. This would make a great gift for any early automobile enthusiast or owner of this car.
I will be
trying to list several EARLY TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few
days (spread
across different categories), including one or two that are unrecorded in
any guide, that were put given away with Tobacco, Cigarettes , Caramel, Candy,
Gum, Chocolate, Bread Coffee Tea Cereal and other products, covering such
diverse subjects as Native American Indians , Baseball , Football, Boy Scouts,
Ice Hockey, Golf, Presidents of the United States, NCAA and IVY League Colleges
and Universities, Dog Breeds, Circus
themes and many more. To view the other cards I have up on ebay please

will take you directly to them.
