Adam, looks like a wet sheet of loose-leaf paper was once laid over it.

It looks like a Wet Sheet Transfer to me as well, though I can't tell what that sheet was.

I found a this and it matches pretty close to the hand on the card. All I have to work with is microsoft excel on this laptop and had to take a picture of the screen with my phone to upload the file. Chris- see what you think.

Okay, so I couldn't find an image, but Lash Bitter's did make a wild cherry version. We need to search for any Lash's advertising from the 1910 period and I think you may be able to nail down the berries as well.

That's not quite it but a good start..appreciate it Ted.

A new example was found, Powers....so far all cards (6) found with these markings are also part of the SC 649 OP subset....possibly a printed 34 card sheet of these was used for the berries ad. 34 card sheet



A pattern of hands, cup and berries keeps repeating.

But it was so close........thanks for sharing the other pictures Chris.

It appears to me that the "thing" the hand is holding is some sort of leather container, especially with the top cut like it is and the pattern on the black areas of the body. It looks like it has a snap type buckle (the black square), that would latch into the area that looks like an alien eye. Below that would be some sort of nameplate possibly for engraving your name on it or a name plate of the manufacturer with the rectangle piece below it being an engraving plate.

(edit) just another thought........it looks like a holder or holster for a tobacco tin. It looks to be the right size for one.

Default Found it!!!

I have found the mystery item shown in the hand. It is a Twin Oaks Tobacco Tin and the olives are actually Acorns. Here is a link to the tin: http://www.etsy.com/listing/52192582...condition-twin

There are several of these for sale on ebay. Now everyone......go find the advertising piece that fits the card!!!!
