    Description

    Nice collection of vintage trade cards with Cairn Terriers pictured on the cards.  Most are tobacco trading cards, but there are also a few tea, cereal, playing, and post cards. There are 56 "mounted" cards plus a nice matchbook cover (not pictured) and another 20 duplicate cards and a couple of very nice surprise postcards.   Many of these cards are "common" ... some are quite hard to find.
    Each card is mounted with a small dab of non-destructive adhesive (the kind used on post-it notes) and I have added a description that details who made the cards, when they were issued, and, in some cases a little additional history about the cards. The description also a small scan that I made of the back of each card.  I took a close-up of one set of cards, out of the sleeve, to better show the details ...
    Most are in very good condition - one noticeable exception is the first two 1913 cards (one is silk) that show some wear.  That is typical of trade cards from that long ago (they were actually carried around and traded ... or left in a "treasures" box by the young children who searched city streets for discarded cigarette packs)  (as well as surviving several world wars) ...
    Happy to answer questions or send better photos of any of the cards.
