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.
Within the N2 set, four cards were reprinted with the same title but a different, corrected photo. The four 'error' cards are significantly more difficult to find and are coveted by the master set completist types. They are also in high demand for type collectors as well.
This lot is for a single N2 "Error" or variation card of Agate Arrow Point. The card appears to be in VGEX to EX condition with clean front but does have some light paper loss on the front of the card in the subject's hair.
