This scarce and colorful card is one in a series of 50 Bird cards issued by the Sen-Sen Chiclet Company of Philadelphia Pennsylvania.  It should be noted that the Fleer Gum Company owned this company. The series is entitled "Accurate Bird Studies ", and is listed as series number E225 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue.  Although no guide that I know of list a date of issue I have always assumed it to be in the 1920’s era and possible earlier.  Each card features a picture of the bird and it’s egg on the front of the card.  Although these images are every bit as good as Audubon Images, they were in fact done by the artist named  Casper Emerson.   The back features a brief description of the bird and its habits which was written by W.D. Carpenter a well know ornithologist at the time.  The back also tells how one could procure an album that featured all of these bird images free from the company (the album identifies who the artist was and who did the descriptions of the bird).   This card features a a REDWING BLACKBIRD. The card measures  3 1/4  inches by 1 1/4  inches approx.  The card does have some creases, edge and corner wear.    I have scanned the front and back of the card fairly large so you can determine the condition for yourself. This is a relatively scarce card. 

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.
