"Dr. Owen’s Remedy"

Patent Medicine

ANAMOSA, IOWA

(1885)

American Trade Card

135+ Years Old.  Guaranteed Authentic Original.  Not a copy or modern reproduction.

RARE to VERY RARE:  As any historian or collector knows, early American Trade Cards are full interesting historical information!  Trade cards were originally printed in vast quantities, (but due to their relatively fragile nature), many of the best examples are now difficult to find in good condition.  Luckily, however, ladies and children often glued and protected these cards in scrapbooks as a form of affordable entertainment.  This particular card was nicely saved and removed from a scrapbook dating to the years 1880-1885.  The cartoon lithograph shows a rodent sliding off the foreign railroad worker’s dinner plate and into the jaws of the next course.  Even for the year 1885 it was a rather shocking attempt at humor regarding the rail gang’s preferred diet.  A superb treasure for the dedicated historian, collector or museum!

 

VERY GOOD to FINE CONDITION.  Faintest hints of age and handling.  Clean and bright lithograph.  No damage.  Stiff and straight card.  Original factory scissor-cut edges and corners.  Lightest hint of egg glue residue on reverse.  A superb example in wonderfully attractive condition!
