Auction #4 - January 2020
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 1/26/2020
The N566 Newsboy series pictures Actresses and numbers into the hundreds of cards. The Newsboy cabinets were likely point-of-sale giveaways for buying the Newsboy brand of tobacco. The cabinets are standard 4-1/4" x 6-1/2" cabinets and have an albumen photo adhered to a red-inked mount advertising Newsboy of New York at the bottom front of the cabinet. Cabinets are blank-backed and often numbered on either the cabinet front or within the photo field itself and, occasionally both places. Many actresses have multiple poses or can be found with different mounts and the set offers the variation collector some real opportunities.
This lot is for a group of (10) N566 Newsboy Tobacco cabinets from the Green Mount 300-Series cabinets to include the following subjects: 301 Madge Alphabet, 302 Queenie Vassar, 305 Pauline Hall, 319 Jennie Joyce, 350 Amy Busby, 353 Juniori Valarez, 357 Amy Busby, 376 Walter Q Gresham. All cards are in the VG to EX range and mostly very clean.
