Do any of you Type Collectors have one of these 1910 era cards?

[fkw]

OK.... I finally found one of the cards after looking through a couple hundred scans I had saved of oddball stuff. I knew I had it somewhere

Here is the McCormick from this series, lets see more, so we can get a checklist started. Ive seen a couple others too.......



PS I call them ca.1910 "Blue Caption" cards.

Think of a better name???

The card is vintage to 1910 era, Im fairly sure....

The collector who owns the O'Hara above is Named Mike G........ he just signed up and he might be posting soon?

He found this card glued into a scrapbook/ledger with a bunch of other 1910 era cards (T201, T202, T206, E92, etc.) and nonsport cards too if I remember right.

PS. If I remember right, for some reason I also think Mark Macrae had one of these, but I am not sure. ????

As you know this McCormick card is mine. I got it from Ron Vitro several years ago. There are 2 Honus Wagners from this set too. For some reason I don't think the first one you posted and this one are from the same "test" set. I have it labeled as a "Nadja-like" candy card.....neat stuff

Here is the Wagner

I agree it's circa 1910 - the O'Hara just reminded me of a piece I have from Japan, probably 1950's. Bad registration, blue font....

I had pictures of Leon's McCormick and the Wagner in my old files, but never knew what to make of them.

What're your opinions on whether these three are all the same issue? The "a" and the apostrophe look the same.

Should we catalog them? "1910s E-UNC?" What are the measurements?

I don't have mine here with me but I believe it is the same size as a regular "e" card, similar to E90-1, E104 etc .... After more observation it does look like the first one could be from the same series as the Mccormick and Wagner(s). It would be nice to have all 3 of the different types in hand. At any rate 1910's E-Unc would definitely be correct....These could almost be an E104-4. Neat cards.....

They all definitely appear to be from the same issue, but not sure E UNC would fit.

I like Frank's name above.

Thanks Frank for posting this one. I've always enjoyed following these scarce cards.

Mike your welcome, thanks for showing your Ohara on the other board. I love the rare stuff

Hi Leon, sorry I didnt reply sooner (i only get online 2 times a week)

I should have noticed the black background on the McCormick scan as yours ... its just like all your other scans (except the quarter is missing )

I save unusual card scans and Ive had this scan for a few years now.


PS Never seen the Wagner before, cool
