Description: Victorian Trade Cards (2) - JERSEY COFFEE - Dayton Spice Mills Co., Dayton, Ohio
Here's a very nice pair of colorful cards featuring children in fancy outfits. One features an Oriental girl wearing a kimono and holding a fan. The other features a red-headed child in some sort of clown suit which has a smiling sun on the front.
The backs of both cards are identical, promoting Jersey Coffee, which has "no Filling, Glazing or Adulteration of any kind whatever". They also explain how a "Beautiful Picture" can be obtained with just 25 wrappers from the Jersey Coffee packages.
Size: approx. 4-1/8" x 3"
Date: Not dated.
Lithographer: Not identified.
Condition: Excellent, I'd say. These cards are fresh and clean, with just barely bumped corners. (Please see scans.)
MULTIPLE ITEM SHIPPING DISCOUNT: I will ship up to 4 cards for the single base shipping charge shown. For purchases of more than 4 cards, the shipping charge will increase by just a small increment for every 4 additional cards.
