The Texas Siftings Cigar brand of Schreiber and Funke issued an uncataloged set of actress cards measuring 2-1/2" wide by 4-3/16" high in the late 19th century. The cards are albumen photgraphs mounted on advertising backs.
Although unnamed on the front, this lot of (7) cards includes a pair of Mary Anderson poses--both in the bottom row on the corners. The cards in this lot are all very clean--both front and back. This lot represents an opportunity to get what has to be the largest holding of these cards known. Non-sport.com shows just a single example in the database. Great opportunity for the 19th century "N" collector.
