American Caramel was the undisputed heavyweight of Caramel cards created in the first quarter of the 20th century. Their sets were detailed and, in some cases colorful, representations of the subjects they portrayed. The nonsports sets are typically 20-25 cards in length such as this E49 Wild West Set. The set pictures Scouts and Indian subjects of the Wild West--a popular subject for cards in the early 20th century. Famous scouts in this set include Kit Carson, Pawnee Bill, Davy Crockett, Buffalo Bill and General George Custer. Famous Indians include Always Riding, Black Bear, Sitting Bull and others.
This lot includes (10) SGC-Graded E49 American Caramel Wild West cards to include the following subjects: SGC50 VGEX4 (one card: Daniel Boone), SGC40 VG3 (6 cards: Jim Bridger, Pawnee Bill, Rocky Bear, Shot in the Eye, Kit Carson and John Burke) and SGC30 G2 (3 cards: Chief Lone Wolf, Yellow Hair and Texas Jack). Nice group that represents half of the E49 set in one lot.
