Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:14168446 |
This auction is for the set of six 1880's (maybe 1890's?) Daniel Low, Salem (Jewelers) Victorian trade cards shown in the pictures. The antique trade cards shown are what you will receive.
Very nice condition (see pics), and Genuine. Each are approximately 4 1/8 inch x 2 5/8 inch, and each shows a different picture of a child on the front with a different activity:
2 musicone soldierone staring at the Sun with a telescopeone smoking a pipeand one with... a Bat and Ball--seems to be Baseball, Cricket bats are usually flat on the bottom and are very well defined between the handle and the rest of the bat (I looked up the history of Cricket bats, this really looks more like a baseball bat, but please view pics, do research to see for yourself.)
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING VIA USPS FIRST CLASS INT'L LETTER FOR $3.49
I am selling many of these antique tobacco cards and Victorian Trade Cards this week and for the next several months (please read history below.) I COMBINE SHIPPING! Same $2.99 for U.S. shipping regardless of how many Victorian trade, tobacco and bubble gum cards you buy!
HISTORY: These cards belonged to my Great Aunt whom collected these from the time she was a young girl in the 1900's until she passed in the 1950's at a relatively early age. Her notes show that she paid as little as a penny each on some cards, and as much as a dollar (per set?) on others. My 82 year old mother told me that her aunt (my great-aunt) had intended to use these as an investment for her retirement, but unfortunately passed away before she was able to retire. There are over 1000 cards, including the original Forbes baseball cards (full set of six!) Hopefully I will be able to list a nice group every week (I am staying with my mom as she is going through chemotherapy for as long as she needs.)
Many Great Cards will be listed every week, so please see my other auctions and save me as a seller if you are interested--I Combine Shipping--$2.99 U.S. Shipping no matter how many card auctions you win, and I am happy to wait a week so you can combine shipping.
