Auction #9 - October 2021
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/24/2021
The Duke N117 Industries of States series pictures women dressed in what appears to be Greek or Roman garb next to a shield for the respective state represented. Since the cards were likely issued in the late 1880's to early 1890's the scantily clad women likely caused a stir. Many of the women sport a bare breast and little is done to cover them. The backs of the cards advertise Dukes Brands of Gail & Ax or Honest Long Cut.
This lot of (11) N117 Industries of States cards are in VG to VGEX condition and very clean front and back. The back breakdown includes (3) Duke's Honest Long Cut and (8) Gail & Ax Navy.
