This fantastic card is one in a series of  24 horse cards issued in Canada by  the Cowan Confectionery Company.  One was inserted into each package of their Cowan’s  Mell-o-Milk Chocolates.  This is a very  rare series of HORSE cards.  They are listed as V14 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue.  Although Burdick does not give a date I believe that they are from the late 1920’s early 1930’s period.  Each card features a picture of the horse on the front of the card, and an informative description and history of the horse on the back.  I am not sure who the original artist was who painted these images, however they do feature a signature.   This card features an ICELANDIC PONY and is Number 1  in the series.  

.  The Card measures 3 3/16 inches by 1 ½  inches approximately. The card does have some lighter corner and edge wear, but is free from major creases.  I think it presents very well. for a card that is over 90 years old.  I have scanned the front and back of the card fairly large so you can determine the condition for  yourself. This would make an excellent display piece or gift for any owner, or enthusiast of this breed. Were else can you pick up a  wonderful horse  print of this age and quality, this affordable?   THESE CARDS WERE NEVER ISSUED IN THE  U.S.A  or UK Due to the lower population in Canada than in the US and UK,  print runs in Canada were much smaller compared with American and British Cards. (Because of this the majority of all Canadian non sports cards are far scarcer than cards issued in the USA and UK. 

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. 

Unfortunately Ebay’s Global Seller Program does not allow for combined shipments on international order
