Description: Victorian Trade Card - LION COFFEE, Woolson Spice Co., Toledo, Ohio

Here's a very pretty vintage embossed advertising card featuring a pink and white rose beside an artist's palette with three brushes sticking through the thumb hole. The palette itself is covered with a seaside scene apparently showing several tiny sailboats on the water.

The back advertises LION COFFEE, "composed of a successful combination of MOCHA, JAVA, AND RIO".

Size: approx. 4.25" x 6"
Date: Not dated. Lithographer: Not identified.
Condition: Very good, I'd say. This card is lightly soiled, with slightly worn edges and corners. The lower right corner is just slightly crushed, and there's a tiny ding in the top edge. (Please see scans.)
