The D61 Nursery Rhymes is a set of (24) cards picturing images from the most popular nursery rhymes of all time. Images for Jack and Jill, Little Bo Peep, Little Miss Muffet and Little Red Riding Hood, among others, all familiar to most collectors from their childhoods. The set was a stock set with blank backs that many companies used for advertising. Non-sport.com outlines 21 different known companies with advertising on the back of the D61 set. The set, with those parameters, is a gold mine for typecard collectors.
This lot of (3) D61 cards includes the following subjects with the following advertisement backs: Humpty Dumpty (Schulze's Big-Dandy Bread), Little Bo Peep and Mistress Mary (both with Butter-Krust bread). The Humpty Dumpty and Little Bo Peep cards are in VGEX with the Mistress Mary card in poor condition with a pinhole, minor paper loss and some pencil writing on the back. Still a great lot for the type card collector.
