The presidential trade cards in this lot were created for a vehicle for advertising during the 1870's/1880's. The cards typically were from a set of 22 subjects from George Washington through Grover Cleveland. The cards can be found as 'blanks' or devoid of advertising or with advertising from dozens of different companies. The advertising can be on the front only at the bottom of the card front or on the back only or on both the front and the back. The cards are popular collectibles today by the set collector, specific presidential collectors or by type card collectors who like to get a single card of each set with different advertising. Different graphics on the cards can be found in 3-4 different setups with or without borders or with more or less graphics on the card.
