My father has always gone to flea markets, estate sales and the sort. He's a big antique and stamp guy (he had a store in New Hope, PA for a while way back when). Now that he's retired he has even more time to rumage through other people's junk :) and sometimes brings his haul over to show me what he found that day.

I guess he bought these for the stamps, but I was more curious about the brands and if there were any known cards issued by these companies. My gut says no, but I figured I'd ask. The tax stamps date them to the early 1910's.

If anyone recognizes any of these please chime in!

Thanks,
Jason

Yup. You can look at some of the boxing and non sports issues for Lorillard here:

"Miners" possibly T219 (boxing) and/or T227 (multi-sport) :confused:
