1890s BOSTON TERRIER Dog Card K70 McLAUGHLIN Coffee DIE CUT Paper TOY

Description

This  fantastic card was issu
ed
by the McLaughlin Coffee Company of the Unit
ed
States of America as an insert premium in their brands of  McLaughlin’s XXXX Coffee.  Although no guide gives a specific year of issue it is generally assum
ed
that these were issu
ed
in the late 1890’s  This series is designat
ed
as K70 in Burdicks American Card Catalogue, and is entitles “Bre
ed
s of Dogs”.  Unfortunately Burdick does not provide any information with regards to how many are in a series,   however I have personally come across 22 different Dogs in this series so far.   The front of the card features a colorful image of the Bre
ed
as well as advertising for the Coffee, while the back is blank as issued.  The card is lightly scored (at the factory) so that the bottom section can be bent and used as a stand.   This card features a BOSTON TERRIER    Measurements for the card is hard to determine as it is die-cut and of uneven shape.  However It measures 2 ½  inches approximately across its bottom edge, and 2 1/2  inches top to bottom.  The card does have some creasing, and the dog does appear to have lost and ear tip.. The colours are strong  I think it displays very well. I have scann
ed
the card fairly large for you to be able to judge condition for yourself .  This would make an impressive display piece or gift for anyone interest
ed
in Dog Collectables or Dog Bre
ed
ing.
These are fairly scarce cards.  Especially with their bottom stand flap still attach
ed
.  Most times you find them remov
ed
or they have torn off over the years of being bent by children using them as stand up paper toys
.   This would make an impressive display piece or GIFT for anyone interest
ed
in this breed.  Were else can you get such a wonderful CANINE IMAGE of this age and quality this inexpensive, as it is over 100 years old it is an official American Antique.
I  will be trying to list several  EARLY TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few days (spread across different categories),
including one or two that are unrecorded in any guide, that were put given away with Tobacco, Caramel, Candy, Gum, Chocolate, Bread Coffee Tea Cereal and other products, covering such diverse subjects as Native American Indians , Baseball , Football, Dog Breeds,  Boy Scouts, Ice Hockey, Golf, Presidents of the United States, NCAA and IVY League Colleges and Universities and Circus themes.  To view the other cards I have up on ebay please click  on the “View Sellers other Items” Icon located on this page. It will take you directly to them.
I am actually located in Canada just across the border.  I have a U.S.A. mailing address, and I mail my items from the USA to avoid border delays.
Due to my work schedule and distance to the post office I am only able to ship  Monday Mornings
.  If I haven’t received payment for an item the EVENING BEFORE Monday  the item will have to wait until the next Monday  to go out. Its unfortunate but unavoidable.  If this doesn’t work for you I respectfully ask that you do not bid or buy. Thanks again
