cards of great historical figures

[BobbyStrawberry]

Teddy Roosevelt, postmarked during his presidency

[G1911]

The Kinney Leaders are a great set.


Here is a CDV of Eduard Falckenstein, who spent 60 years in the Prussian and German armies, beginning as an enlisted rifleman and rose to the top, playing a part, often significant, in almost all of the German wars. Another benefit of CDV's is one can get cheap contemporary cards of some people who were historical figures in that time, but have few other card options.


Also, an unrelated request. Anyone have a card of Shaka, king of the Zulus? I've never seen one but would like to add him to my history collection.

I was thinking one that maybe looked like him , but this is one interesting card here. Someone bought it for $1.04.

Captain John Smith, soldier, geographer, governor, author, and more, who named New England.

While next to worthless in all likelihood, this is a grail for me, almost certainly the first card (it's actually a sticker) of JFK, 1961 Chocolates Simon from Spain. One rarely sees the 1961 issue and more commonly sees the 1964 (think Cassius Clay).

Nice picture too. Is their a list somewhere of the earliest cards for each President?
