The N168 Goodwin Horses are probably the toughest Goodwin/Old Judge type cards to find. The cards are rarely seen and the seven checklisted cards are not likely all the cards in the set. The front of the cards have a white border with a sepia type photo and the subject's name and the backs are printed script advertising for purchasing 'holder' or pipe bodies with the card itself. This could explain why the cards are so scarce as they appear to have been a coupon to buy the pipe body.
This card pictures Parole which was a horse bread by Pierre Lorillard of the Lorillard Tobacco family in the 1870's. The horse was owned by Aristedes Welch who was the namesake for the horse Aristedes which was the winner of the inaugural Kentucky Derby in 1875. Parole won a number of high profile horse races between 1875 and 1881. The card is in G condition with a stain visible mostly on the back and a crease through the card on the left side. Overall, otherwise, it is in clean condition that would be about VGEX absent the other issues.
