SERIES: Birds and Miscellany
This is one of a series of 50 cards issued by Arbuckles' in the 1880's depicting birds (#51-#69) and other miscellaneous subjects (#70-#100), and advertising their "Ariosa" coffee. This one features a pair of what appear to be long-tailed titmice, sitting on a branch.
The back carries Arbuckles' familiar "4 Points" sales pitch.
SIZE: 5" x 3"
DATE: Not dated, but likely late 1880s
LITHOGRAPHER: Not identified
CONDITION: Just fair, I'd say, but perhaps it can serve as a space-filler in your collection until a better copy comes along. The front of this card is lightly soiled, but the back has a large patch of surface damage where it was apparently ripped from a scrapbook. The edges and corners are only slightly worn but there are diagonal creases across both the upper and lower left 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.
