The T419 American Tobacco Cards Playing Cards set is a (52) or (53) card set of ATC cards issued for tobacco sales overseas in the United Kingdom. The cards can be found with backs that state "52 subjects" or "53 subjects" with that 53rd subject being the Joker. The cards can also be found in the same format with British American Tobacco (BAT) that are cataloged as T444.
This complete set of T419 American Tobacco Playing cards are all like-backed "53 subject" cards and include the elusive Joker card. The set is a pleasing VG to EX with most being around VGEX. The set is rarely found complete and is difficult to piece together. Just a great set from the Tobacco War period between American Tobacco Company and the British American Tobacco company during the early part of the 20th century.
