The N219 Kinney Tobacco Harlequin Set is a set of playing cards issued by Kinney in the 1880's to 1890's. The cards feature the normal suits of hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades and picture the normal card images with soldiers and other people as the backgrounds with the heart, diamond club or spade as the face of the people in the background. The checklist backs outline all the individual cards within the suits.
This near set of (46/52) card is missing the following cards to be complete: 2 of clubs, 5 of diamonds, Ace of Hearts, 5 of hearts, 7 of hearts and 9 of hearts. Blank-backed cards (and likely poster cut outs) include 5 of spades and King of spades. The other (44) cards are pretty uniformly VG- to VGEX with only a couple cards having some writing or other back issues. Very nice set that, with a couple upgrades and additions could be a nice mid-grade set.
