I am hoping someone can provide me anything about this card. Year it was produced? How many different cards were produced? Who the Loeser Brothers were? |
Looks like Loeser Bros were publishers, so I would guess that they printed the photo for a client. (maybe it was used for advertising(?) )

James E. Pepper is a whiskey distillery.
|
I realize these are promo cards for James E. Pepper.
I have also emailed them to see if they could provide a little history to these cards, but I have not heard back from them yet. |
Set of 12, made after 7/4/1910, uses Dana photos, probably meant for display in bars and taverns.
|
By chance do you have a listing of the 12?
I have been able to research 10 of the images. 1) Johnson collecting his share of the $121,000 purse... 2) World's Famous Gladiators and Promotors 3) Billy Jordan introducing Jeffries 4) Billy Jordan introducing Johnson 5) Round 1 - Johnson's back/Jeffries crouching 6) Round 1 - Clinch 7) Round 2 - Looking for an opening 8) Round 2 - Jeffries facing Johnson, Johnson's back 9) Round 14 10) The Knock-Out (I am surprised by this image. An advertisement that shows Jeffries being knocked out). |
I'm assuming you saw the lot of 10 that went off on Ebay recently.
|
Yes, that helped confirm the 10 i know of.
Thanks |
Yeah, it is ten; my mistake. JO Sports has the set:

These were made in several different sizes and mount formats, so not sure if there is a complete set per se.
There might be some poses in some groupings that don't exist in others and visa versa. Or just "known" and "unknown" I'd guess. |
