can I get info on this
 
I do not post over here too much because I collect mostly 50-70's HOF. I picked this up a while ago. Anyone have any info on this card. Thanks in advance. Chris

trade card
 
This isn't totally my expertise but I will take a stab. I think it's a private label Victorian trade card for Singer Sewing Machine's Celebrated Singers series. I would guess the value at $10-$25 ......Actually I just started picking up a few Victorian trade cards and think they are neat. regards

Not trying to be a smart-a$$, but I think the card pretty much explains itself.. But yes, like Leon said, that would be a victorian trade card. I've been dabbling in the Victorian trade cards a little as of lately, and there are some great baseball related ones to be had. The merchants gargling oil linament set is a good one to start with, especially if you're ok with the severely trimmed ones, there's plenty of those to be had. Full ones come up less frequently and generally aren't as cheap. Plus there's only 5 in the set. Keep in mind those 5 were used in multiple printings with varying color schemes, so just pick one and go with it.

I am not an expert by any means and have only acquired a few, and given very little time to them, but I think there were generic types and private label types, so that part might not be quite as evident, unless you know :). The lithography on some of these is really spectacular. Btw, the first card shown isn't mine it's the original poster's.

Yeah sorry, forgot about the private label part...
