To answer Jay's question about the size of 1917 Zeenut cards when without coupon, it appears that they are usually around 1-13/16" wide by 3-3/16" tall. Like other issues of the era, there are size differences--they are often seen at 1-3/4" (which is how it is listed in the SCD Standard Catalog). I do have one that is 3-1/4" tall, so it seems like you have a tall boy. When collecting Zeenuts, one has to be extremely tolerant when it comes to dimensions and condition--better a ill-begotten monstrosity of a Zeenut than no Zeenut at all.

By the way, Jay, at 2-3/4" wide, you have a mega-jumbo 1917 Zeenut(insert smiley face utilizing upper case keyboard symbols here)
