The L20 College Leathers set is one of many tobacco leather sets issued in the 1910's to early 1920's. The leathers, like other tobacco inserts, were placed into packages of cigarettes as an enticement for the smoker to buy the packs. The leathers, in many cases, were inserted into small envelopes before being placed in the product. The leathers are popular--especially with alumni of the colleges they picture and for set collectors of tobacco paraphernalia. The L20 set has a known checklist of 156 subjects and with color and format variations likely 1000's of different variants exist. The set offers the variation collector endless opportunities to add to a leather collection.
This lot of approximately (175) L20 College Tobacco Leathers is in mostly VG to NRMT condition with most being around VGEX to EX condition. There is duplication in both the subjects and variations in the lot but there is a good amount of variety in the subjects in the lot.
