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 pair of N312D Wm. G. Hills Birds of Plumage are in Fair/Good condition each having some condition issue. The Argus subject has a clean front with stain on the back and the Flamingo subject has some chipping and a lower right corner missing. Still very tough cards to find in any condition.
