The N312 Series is a series of (15) cards picturing "Winged Birds of Plumage". The card fronts feature women from the waist up with bird feathers added set against a light brown background. The series were a stock photo card series that were used by a number of tobacco companies for advertising including William G. Hills "Orphan Boy" brand, Allen & Ginter (strips of three cards), Frishmuth and Mayo Cut Plug, among others. The Hills cards are most common as are the Mayo's but all of the cards are difficult to find and some are nearly impossible.
This single N312 Wm. G. Hills Winged Birds of Paradise "Bird of Paradise I" is in clean VGEX condition with an intact blue-printed back.
