Here we have a fantastic antique Die Cut Victorian Advertising Trade Card from the Columbus Buggy Co. of Columbus Ohio in the USA.  It features a carrier pigeon and an image of the Buggy.  This one looks to have been given as a gift to “Clara from Ellen” in 1898 as per the pencil writing on the back. Clara has covered the advertising print that was on the back by glueing a piece of paper to the back.  You could easily remove this by soaking it off, but I left it alone as I really like the personal touch and the fact that it dates the card.  It also has two holes where a string was meant to go allowing this to be hung up as a decoration.  It measures 3 ¾ inches across approximately.   The card does have a some creasing, but I think it displays very well.  I have taken fairly large scans of the front and back for you to be able to judge condition for yourself.

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 click  on the “View Sellers other Items” Icon located on this page. It will take you directly to them.

Due to my work schedule and distance to the post office I am only able to ship  Monday Mornings.  If I haven’t received payment for an item by Sunday evening,   the item will have to wait until the next Monday  to go out. Its unfortunate but unavoidable.   If this doesn’t work for you I respectfully ask that you do not bid or buy. Thanks again. 

This will be mailed from the USA. 

For USA purchases I Can combine shipping.  Please message me for details.

Unfortunately Ebay’s International Shipping Program does not allow for combined shipments on international orders
