Hi Everyone,
Can anyone help me ID this older PT Barnum card? I believe there was an eagle on top. Thanks! |

No idea on a specific issuer. It might be hard to locate as I think these would presumably fall in the Victorian scrap category. I do not think these are a tobacco or other premium as they lack any branding front or back. There were many Barnum sets likely sold at the circus as a souvenir item.
Scrap die cuts were made specifically for the common hobby of scrapbooking in the 1880s to early 1900s. You could try the non-sports card forum in the upper right hand corner of this page or an ephemera collector. This copy sold for under 4 dollars last month on eBay that does show the missing eagle.
