Do any of you Type Collectors have one of these 1910 era cards?

[fkw]

Im posting this for another collector to try to find any more info (checklist, theories, etc.).

Over the years I have seen a couple others from this rare series, do any of you have one??

T card size, blue caption, blank back, very colorful

Never seen one of those. It looks sort of homemade? Do you have any other info on them at all? Maybe Glen V, Bob L, or Dan M will chime in.....

Reminiscent of Japanese printing to me - via Menko etc. Something about the colors and somewhat loose registration - possibly a 40's/50's release based on an earlier issue? A wild theory I know, just throwing it out there.

OK.... I finally found one of the cards after looking through a couple hundred scans I had saved of oddball stuff. I knew I had it somewhere

Here is the McCormick from this series, lets see more, so we can get a checklist started. Ive seen a couple others too.......



PS I call them ca.1910 "Blue Caption" cards.

Think of a better name???

The card is vintage to 1910 era, Im fairly sure....

The collector who owns the O'Hara above is Named Mike G........ he just signed up and he might be posting soon?

He found this card glued into a scrapbook/ledger with a bunch of other 1910 era cards (T201, T202, T206, E92, etc.) and nonsport cards too if I remember right.

PS. If I remember right, for some reason I also think Mark Macrae had one of these, but I am not sure. ????

As you know this McCormick card is mine. I got it from Ron Vitro several years ago. There are 2 Honus Wagners from this set too. For some reason I don't think the first one you posted and this one are from the same "test" set. I have it labeled as a "Nadja-like" candy card.....neat stuff

I was wondering if anybody knows anything about this series and maybe an approximate value. I am not interested in selling it but I don't see a discussion board for pre war cards. I have been told it is from a very rare series and not much info is available. Just wondering if anyone can help out.

How about a photo of the back?

Currently it is affixed to an index card like backing. I am in the process of sending them away to have the backing professionally removed.
