1910 Russell Playing Schedule

[old13man]

This may be a longshot but I was wondering if anyone had a 1910 Russell's Baseball Playing Schedule card available or any info on them? It featured a generic player photo on the front and a schedule for a team on the back. These were manufactured in Milltown, NJ by Russell's Playing Card Company. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
CJ

I don't have any with the schedule on back but have these which are sort of similar looking. Interestingly they came in a playing card box which says Hustler Playing Cards- New York Consolidated Card Company, 222 to 228 West 14th St- New York. The box is blue and looks like it could be original to the cards, which is not in keeping with the thought of where they were made. It also says Squeezers No 94 on it. Hope this helps but it might actually confuse things more. I don't make it up, I just report what I see

Thanks for the info Leon. I have seemed to discover that they were advertisment for the Cleveland Plain Dealer in 1910 and featured a Cleveland schedule on the back. Now it is just a matter of finding one!

I have all 6 poses in both colors for Cleveland Plain Dealer and the Washington Herald. They are actors/models, not actual baseball players that were used. Dan.
