The E2 Lauer & Suter Navy Candy set is a 24 card set of Naval Officers issued in the 1910 range. The cards were one of two sets issued by Lauer & Suter, the other being the E6 Rulers set. The cards picture Naval officers most known for commanding ships in the Spanish American War as part of the White Squadron. The cards can be found with Lauer & Suter advertising on the back of the card at the bottom or they can be found with no advertising on the back--only a checklist of the subjects. It is not known if the cards with no advertising also came in Lauer & Suter products or if they were issued by another company. The cards without advertising seem to be a little scarcer than the ones with advertising but typically don't command a significant premium for that scarcity. The cards, like most of the caramel issues of the same timeframe, often suffer condition issues and are typically not found in high grade.
This pair of E2 Lauer & Suter Navy Officers cards are both graded PSA4 VG-EX and both have the non-advertising back. The subjects are Rear-Admiral Craig and Capt. H.W. Osterhaus. The cards have beautiful coloring and clean, mostly squared borders with clean backs.
