This University / College Tobacco Leather
was issued by the American Tobacco Company as an insert premium with their
brand of Murad Turkish Cigarettes and Tobacco in 1908. The leather itself is an embossed reproduction of the featured U.S.
College or University’s Crest or School Seal.
The series is listed in Burdicks’ American Card Catalogue as series
L20. This one features Yale University . It measures
2 1/2 inches by 2 inches . I have provided a scan of the leather, fairly large for you to be able to judge condition for yourself. This over 110 year old collectable would make
an excellent display piece fram
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
Global Seller Program does not allow for combined shipments on international
order
