Can somebody ID this (tobacco) card?
 

Posted By: <b>Richard</b><p>Evening Folks,<br /><br /> Last night I was checking out eBay for some type cards and found this one. I waited until the auction ended to list it here, to keep it silent in case one of you were bidding...<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4120&item=61686355 97&rd=1" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4120&item=61686355 97&rd=1</a><br /><br />Anyway, can anyone please identify it for me?<br /><br /><br />Thanks in advance,<br /><br />Richard<br /><a href="http://www.richardarmstrong.ca" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.richardarmstrong.ca</a>

Posted By: <b>Rob</b><p>It's from the '1930s Edwards, Ringer & Bigg Cigarettes' set.<br /><br />The card is nearly identical to the 1929 Churchman's beand, except for the ads on the back and the lack on the later card of the Churchman's name on top-right front. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>
