Auction #8 - June 2021

This lot includes an interesting group of (6) Type Card Catalog cards with attached Kinney Brothers tobacco cards. The issues include (2) cards each from N218, N223, N225, N232 and N233. There is also a card with a trio of N228 Kinney Novelties. The cards are noted as "London" Specimen Mounting Cards and are preprinted for small/average size tobacco cards. The cards are all affixed to the mounting cards using normal corner mounts used for photographs. All appear to be in VG to EXMT condition. There are notes on the cards about the World Tobacco Index reference and in some cases have the American Card Catalog classification on them as well. These are interesting looks into how U.S. cards may have been collected in the United Kingdom. While it's hard to tell the exact date of the cards, I would assume they're from sometime in the 1940-1960 period.
