Auction #7 - February 2021
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/28/2021
The Duke N117 Industries of States series pictures women dressed in what appears to be Greek or Roman garb next to a shield for the respective state represented. Since the cards were likely issued in the late 1880's to early 1890's the scantily clad women likely caused a stir. Many of the women sport a bare breast and little is done to cover them. The backs of the cards advertise Dukes Brands of Gail & Ax or Honest Long Cut.
The condition of this trio of cards from the N117 Duke Tobacco Honest Long Cut Industries of States are in VG to VGEX condition and largely clean with the only issues being general corner wear.
