I am not an expert in old tobacco related items but with a group of tobacco related items, I acquired these two premium cards. These were put out by W. Duke & Sons Co NY for Honest Long Cut Chewing and Smoking tobacco. These two cards depict two Captains of different Cunard Line Ships. One is "T.Cook, Cunard Etruria" and the other one is "W. McKikan, Cunard Umbria". These card have a bit of wear, staining, t is some paper loss to the back of these cards from being in a scrapbook at one time and the Flag seen in the "Umbria" has some paper loss. I consider them to be in overall fair condition and tfore am selling them "as found", please keep that in mind when bidding. The scans are also pretty accurate and will help the viewer determine what they think of these cards and the conditon in general. The measure approx. 2.5"x 4.25". T is a Litho attritribution of "Geo S. Harris and sons Philadelphia" on the backs. With the condition issues mentioned, I consider them acceptable and I think if framed these cards would look good framed and would present well. These would be a nice additon to a tobacco card collection or for those that like the old cruise ships. I am pleased to offer these little glimpses into a bygone era for consideration. I acquired a small lot of tobacco related ephemera and will be listing that today, along with many read more
