This Coffee card  was issued by the Woolson Spice company of the United States of America as an insert premium in their brands of Lions Coffee during the 1890s.I could not find this listed  in any guide that I am aware of (American Card Catalogue , Non Sports Bible ect.) This series seems to be a subset of a larger group of cards that were issued by Woolson under the title “Picture Cards”.  In this case the subset is titled “ The Yankee Boy and Girl Traveling”  and feature and American Boy and Girl dressed up in the costumes of different nations.  The back has advertising for Lion Coffee and States “A Picture Card in each package of the Lion Coffee now at your Grocers.  Many Designs.”  It has a Poem about the particular nation being featured and also states that there are 12 different cards in this series.  The card features GERMAN COSTUME.  The Card measures 3 15/16  inches by 2 13/16  inches approximately.  The card does have a small pinhole near the top, as well as some creasing and wear.     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. 

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
