The N126 Duke's Tobacco Rulers, Flags and Arms of Nations set is a (51) card set that pictures (50) rulers and their nations and a card for Niagara Falls. The (50) rulers cards can be found with center panel advertising for Duke's Cameo Cigarettes, Turkish Cross-Cut Cigarettes or Duke's Cigarettes and offer something extra for the variation collector to consider. The cards are folded into three panels that, when folded, measure the same size as the normal-sized tobacco cards of the 1880's. The cards are condition sensitive--particularly at the folds and corners and are much thinner than the normal 19th century tobacco card. There is another format of the cards that features thicker cards and advertises the Honest Long Cut brand on the back in a non-folding format.
This lot of N126B Duke Tobacco Rulers, Flags and Arms of All Nations are in largely VG to VGEX condition with a few worse and a couple better. For the variation collectors, the lot includes all Duke's Cameo variations with one Turkish Cross Cut. The lot also includes the popular Niagara Falls card--oddly added in with rulers of all nations.
