Auction #12 - October 2022
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/23/2022
The N566 Newsboy series pictures Actresses and numbers into the hundreds of cards. The Newsboy cabinets were likely point-of-sale giveaways for buying the Newsboy brand of tobacco. The cabinets are standard 4-1/4" x 6-1/2" cabinets and have an albumen photo adhered to a red-inked mount advertising Newsboy of New York at the bottom front of the cabinet. Cabinets are blank-backed and often numbered on either the cabinet front or within the photo field itself and, occasionally both places. Many actresses have multiple poses or can be found with different mounts and the set offers the variation collector some real opportunities.
This lot includes a single N567 Newsboy cabinet of Rose Coghlan from the green mount series. The number is #310. This card has a very tough advertisement on the back for Red Indian Cut Plug Tobacco. The card is in what should be considered VG to VGEX condition.
