Card of the Day - 2022-07-17

Fish from American waters
A560-555 : A52-56 : USA/T407b : RB.21/137 [tobacco : OS : U.S.A.] American Tobacco Co. "Fish from American Waters" (1895) Un/25

our earliest card of the week. And it was issued even earlier by Allen and Ginter, in 1889, as small and large backlisted cards, as well as a pre-printed album.

Our American Tobacco Company cards also come in two formats, a thick card, issued in 1895, which is also backlisted, and a thin card, issued in 1900, with the `Green Net` design we show here.Jefferson Burdick regarded the thick cards to be more valuable, but only worth 15 cents rather than 10 cents
