The T121 Sweet Caporal World War I Scenes is a large, 250 card set picturing colored photos of WWI scenes. The cards have white borders and are numbered on the back in the lower left corner. The titles of the cards are also on the back of the card and the card backs state "up to the minute war pictures reproduced in color from actual photographs taken at scene of war. Two new subjects every day." If this is the case, Kinney and Sweet Caporal ran this promotion for 125 days to get the 250 cards and they were likely issued during the first couple years of WWI between 1914 and 1915.
This near set of (233/250) T121 Sweet Caporal World War I Scenes cards are in Good to VGEX condition with most cards in the VG/VGEX range. The near set is missing only the following numbers to be complete: 6, 8, 9, 55, 64, 65, 87, 115, 184, 205, 211, 215, 220, 223, 229, 235 and 245.
