It has a copyright date of 1893. The back is full of text and info. I'll post a pic of the back. Sorry for the poor pic of the Tinker but the thing is so small it's hard to get a clear photo. |

At a $1 a pop, postcards and trade cards from that era are a steal. If they have any sort of theme at all, they will get $20 each or more. I have a 1880s trade from the Home Sewing Machine Comapany featuring a Native american on it and it sold for $50. I got several emails from people asking me if I had more trade cards of sewing machine companies, so there seems to be a good market for that stuff, aside form NAtive American items. |

Funny you should mention sewing machine cards. There was at least 10 of those in there. They weren't cards but more of a diecut looking piece. They were all identical. Who knew? |

I think it was on ebay - some of them were pretty weird, including "American Negroes" apparently trying to entice a possum out of a tree. |

From search engine yahoo, type in Arbuckles trading cards. From the results page click on Arbuckle Trade Cards--Other references, and you'll find what you're looking for. |

The Arbuckle Coffee card you have is from a set of 50 called K4 "History of Sports and Pastimes of the World" from 1893, found page 93 in the 1967 version of The American Card Catalog (ACC). They are fairly common on eBay especially when you search with the word Baseball in the Victorian Trade Card category. The UNITED STATES card you have in the best one and sells for about $10-$20 on eBay. I see about 10-20 on eBay a year. Nice find for $1. Frank |
