The Breisch-Williams Company of Oxford, PA issued a number of sets after the turn of the 20th century. Their most famous set is the E103 Baseball series. This series of (25) Army cards pictures soldiers from 9 different countries in their battle gear. The cards were inserted one each into the Army caramel brand from Breisch-Williams. The images used in this series were used for other manufacturers of the time including the American Tobacco Company among others. All cards picture the subject in a full color bust pose. Thirteen of the (25) cards also have a picture of a cap in the lower left corner. They appear on all the same cards and it is not known why they don't appear on all the cards.
This lot of (12) Cards from the E1 Breisch-Williams Military set are in about Good condition with what appears to be some type of staining on the backs of the cards--possibly from album removal or some other event. The cards display well, however, with clean, colorful fronts. This represents over 1/2 of the set of (25).
