This  fantastic Tobacco Silk  (also referred to as a Cigarette Silk)  was issued by  the American Tobacco Co.  as an insert premium in their brands of  Murad Tobacco and Cigarettes during 1910.  This is one from a series of 250 silks ( 10 different athletes for 25 different schools)  entitled “ College Athlete and Seal ” and designated as series S22 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue .  The silk features the image of an athlete dressed in the College or University colors, with the school’s seal.   This silk features  the ANNAPOLIS NAVAL ACADEMY and has an BASEBALL BATTER . This silk  measures 3 1/2   inches by  5 ½   inches  approximately.    I have scanned the silk  fairly large for you to be able to judge condition for yourself.  This 106 year old collectable would make an excellent display piece framed with a College or University  acceptance letter or degree (It is over 100 years old so it is an official Antique)  It has huge cross over collectable potential.  It would also look great hung in any man cave or home hockey shrine.  This is a striking early Baseball  image. 

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, 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 and Circus themes.  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
