The relationship between Philadelphia Caramel and Philadelphia Confections remains somewhat of a mystery but we believe them to be one and the same company. This set of (50) cards borrows images from the N21 Quadrupeds series from the Allen & Ginter company of the late 1880's. The set pictures animals in natural habitats. The set can be found with black printed backs or, in much less quantity, blue printed backs as well. The latter are significantly more difficult to find.
This set of (50) cards features (4) cards with the blue printed backs including: Buffalo, Fox, Grizzly Bear and Lion. Overall, the set is in Poor to Good/VG condition, averaging about Good. The set, however, displays nicely and the blue back cards are so tough.
