The N312 Series is a series of (15) cards picturing "Winged Birds of Plumage". The card fronts feature women from the waist up with bird feathers added set against a light brown background. The series were a stock photo card series that were used by a number of tobacco companies for advertising including William G. Hills "Orphan Boy" brand, Allen & Ginter (strips of three cards), Frishmuth and Mayo Cut Plug, among others. The Hills cards are most common as are the Mayo's but all of the cards are difficult to find and some are nearly impossible.
This lot is for a group of (3) N312E Just So Cut Plug Winged Birds of Plumage cards. The Just So Brand is one of the tougher brands and this lot of (3) cards represents and incredible opportunity to pick up 20% of the complete set in a single lot. The cards in this lot are in F to G condition with blank backs. The majority of condition issues are corner and surface wear. Bird of Paradise (the center card in the picture) has a small corner crease in the upper left and all (3) cards have very light abrasions that cause some very light paper loss on the surface.
