The E180 Heisel's Gum set is a sepia-toned set of actress cards issued by Heisel's gum--likely in the later part of the 19th century. Like most of Heisel's issues, the cards are lithographed. The cards include some of the biggest Broadway actresses including Lillian Russell, Viola Allen, Annie Pixley, Adelina Patti and others. The card fronts advertise Heisel's Actress Gum with the actress' name in the center of the bottom panel. The backs of the cards are blank.
This lot is for a trio of E180 Heisel's Gum cards to include the following subjects: Lurline Birdsall, Cronjel and Pauline Hall. The cards are in lower grade being mostly Fair. The lot offers great filler cards until those better-condition cards are found.
