Inaugural January 2019 Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 1/27/2019
The N103 Duke Tobacco Burlesque Scenes are typically one of the stronger selling series of larger Duke cards. They're more difficult than the typical series of larger Duke's and they picture some scenes of what might have been considered women in risque outfits of the period. The artwork in the set is clean and consistent throughout and the light backgrounds give the chance to focus on the characters on the cards. The backs advertise the Duke brand Honest Long Cut and have a non-alphabetical checklist.
This lot of (9) cards would generally be considered to be in VGEX to EX condition technically but looks much better than that. The lot includes the following (9) titles from a set of (25): Double Solace, Leisure Moment, Help Yourself, Puff on the Sly, Maternal Cares, Going On, Borrowed Fire, For Luck and Stroll in the Conservatory.
UPDATE
Please be advised that the (4) cards in the first picture do have paper pulls on the back near the HON of Honest. They are about 1/4" by 1/2". They also have numbers written in pencil on the back.
