This fantastic card was issued with DOUBLE 5 Brand tobacco.   It doesn’t identify a maker on the card directly but on page 239 of the Forbes/Mitchell American Tobacco Card Guide they identify the Double 5 brand as having been made by the American Eagle Tobacco Co of Detroit Michigan.  The series is designated as series N489 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue.  The front of the card features a colorful illustrated image of an Victorian Theatre Actress, with a prominent blue border, while the back featured advertising for Double 5 brand Tobacco.  This card features ELLA WESNER.  The Card measures 1 ½  inches by 2 ½  inches  approximately. The card does have some glue remnants and print wear to the back.  More than likely it was glued into a Victorian scrap album at some point in its long past life.   I have scanned the card fairly large 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. 

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