1890s LAMB Animals Coffee Card K69 McLAUGHLIN xxxx Coffee Die Cut PAPER DOLL Toy

Description

This  fantastic card was issu
ed
by the McLaughlin Coffee Company of the Unit
ed
States of America as an insert premium in their brands of  McLaughlin’s XXXX Coffee.  Although no guide gives a specific year of issue it is generally assum
ed
that these were issu
ed
in the late 1890’s  This series is designat
ed
as K69 in Burdicks American Card Catalogue, and is entitles “DIE CUT DESIGNS”.  Unfortunately Burdick does not provide any information with regards to how many are in a series,   however I have personally come across 14 different DESIGNS in this series so far.   The front of the card features a colorful image of the animal or object as well as advertising for the Coffee, while the back is blank as issu
ed
. This card features a LAMB.    Measurements for the card is hard to determine as it is die-cut and of uneven shape.  However it does measure  approximately 2 7/8 3 inches tall.  The card does have some creasing.    I have scann
ed
the card fairly large for you to be able to judge condition for yourself .
These are fairly scarce cards.  Especially with their bottom stand flap still attach
ed
.  Most times you find them remov
ed
or they have torn off over the years of being bent by children using them as stand up paper toys
.   This would make an impressive display piece or GIFT for anyone interest
ed
in Early PAPER DOLLS or PAPER TOYS
.
I  will be trying to list several  EARLY TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few days (spread across different categories),
including one or two that are unrecorded in any guide, that were put given away with Tobacco, Caramel, Candy, Gum, Chocolate, Bread Coffee Tea Cereal and other products, covering such diverse subjects as Native American Indians , Baseball , Football, Boy Scouts, Ice Hockey, Golf, Presidents of the United States, NCAA and IVY League Colleges and Universities and Circus themes.  To view the other cards I have up on ebay please click  on the “View Sellers other Items” Icon located on this page. It will take you directly to them.
I am actually located in Canada just across the border.  I have a U.S.A. mailing address, and I mail my items from the USA to avoid border delays.
Due to my work schedule and distance to the post office I am only able to ship  Monday Mornings
.  If I haven’t received payment for an item the EVENING BEFORE Monday  the item will have to wait until the next Monday  to go out. Its unfortunate but unavoidable.  If this doesn’t work for you I respectfully ask that you do not bid or buy. Thanks again.
I will COMBINE SHIPPING within Canada and the USA on items of similar size that are sold on the same day.
I am sorry but ebay's global shipping program does not allow combined shipping on International shipments
