The A32 Duke & Sons Tobacco Sporting Girls Album/Folio is arguably one of the tougher albums among the Duke Tobacco redemption pieces. The album has a cover, ten individual folio cabinet-type cards and a back cover. The individual panes are attached with a cloth tape type connectors. Often found separated, a complete album is an extremely difficult thing to find. The individual panels are collected themselves as cabinet card type collectibles.
This copy of the A32 Duke Cigarettes Sporting Girls Album is the only complete copy we have had in three years and one of the only ones we've seen in this condition. This album contains both halves of the A32 album with all the interior plates connected. The interior plates are in VGEX to EX condition and very clean. The front cover has just the smallest amount of fraying at the top right and the back cover has a small, nickel-sized patch of paper loss in the lower right corner. These albums are extremely scarce in any condition and are generally found deconstructed into single plates like cabinet cards. Great opportunity to add an extremely scarce album to an advanced collection.
