The H764 Gail & Ax Little Joker Tobacco company issued the Adventures of Baron Munchausen Set of Trade cards in the latter part of the 19th century The set pictures fantastic artwork from the story of Baron Munchausen who was a fictional German nobleman created by Rudolf Erich Raspe. The book outlined Munchausen and his travels and campaigns in Russia. The cards generally measure 3-1/8" wide by 5-3/4" high. Within the field of the front of the card, each card has the Gail & Ax tobacco package integrated into the artwork.
This complete set of (10) cards is in an even GVG to VGEX condition. A couple of the cards have writing on the back and there are some light creases here and there but the cards are in uniform condition and the set would be a great addition to an advanced trade card or tobacco collection.
