The N2 Allen & Ginter American Indian Chiefs is the small format companion to the N36 larger format set in Lot #1. The N2 set pictures the same (50) American Indians using the same interior picture artwork as the larger format set. The artwork for this set would be the basis for countless other sets into even the 1930's. The set pictures Indian Chiefs from all over North America with subjects like Geronimo, Sitting Bull, Chief Joseph and others. The set represents possibly one of, if not the most popular sets of the 19th century small format chromolithographed cards. They are highly sought and very popular with collectors not only of tobacco cards but of Western and Indian ephemera.
This lot of (27) cards from the N2 Allen & Ginter Celebrated American Indians set are in Poor to VGEX condition with most in VG to VGEX. There are (9) cards with some type of back issue like paper loss, staining or writing. All card fronts retain good color and display really nicely regardless of the backs. Great lot for the set builder.
