The H602 Presidents set is a 21 or 22 card set created for advertising for multiple products during the late 1880's. There are 2-3 different variations of these sets and some include Grover Cleveland and some do not. The cards are black and white and generally have space on the front for advertising and blank backs for advertising. They are commonly found with advertising on the front and sometimes advertising on the back and, rarely, advertising on both the front and the back. They're very popular with collectors and often the blank stock is found with no advertising on the front nor the back.
This H602 President Trade Card lot of (2) cards includes the subjects of Grover Cleveland and Abraham Lincoln. The cards have very interesting backs, picturing Grover Cleveland and Allan Thurman on the Cleveland card--the Democratic ticket for the 1888 Presidential Election. The Lincoln card pictures Benjamin Harrison and Levi Morton--the Republican ticket for the 1888 Presidential Election. Very interesting pair of trade cards. This pair of cards are in VGEX to EX condition, scarce, and very clean.
