"LION COFFEE"
Large Trade Card
(1885)
Promotional Give-Away

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

SCARCE to RARE:  As any historian or collector knows, early American Trade Cards are full interesting historical information!  This particular card was originally printed in vast quantities, to be added to the inside of Lion Coffee packages as a free give-away premium, but now they’re rather difficult to find in good condition.  In fact, it’s extremely hard to collect a complete set in any condition.  Luckily, young Victorian ladies 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.  A superb treasure for the dedicated coffee trade card collector, historian or museum!
 
FAIR to GOOD CONDITION.  Signs of age and handling.  Stone lithograph.  Damage and staining on obverse.  Very irregular close-cut edges and corners.  Egg glue stains on reverse.  A superb historic artifact in attractive condition!  Measures: 5-5/8” wide by 4-1/16” tall.

We ALWAYS guarantee 100% customer satisfaction.  We love to research historic artifacts!  We only sell original items.  We never sell modern reproductions.  We pack extremely well - we safely ship worldwide - and we give everyone 30 days to inspect and return any purchase for a full refund.  You'll love our items.  And you’ll love our service!
