Auction #7 - February 2021
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/28/2021
The N145 Duke's actress set includes cards with advertising for Duke Cigarettes, Duke's Cross-Cut Tobacco and Dukes Cameo Cigarettes. There are different types within the classification of N145 for how and where the advertising is located on the card--whether at the bottom of the front of the card outside the field of the photo or in the photo itself. Unlike many of the other actress sets from the time period, the cards from N145 are mostly numbered on the lower left front of the card and, as such, easier to collect in a set form. The N145-3 Series advertisies for Duke Cameo Cigarettes within the field of the photo. The cards are numbered on the front and can be found numbered between 1-180 with 3 cards unaccounted for based on the World Tobacco Index checklist of subjects (WTI).
This lot of (36) cards contains very light duplication and is overall in VG to VGEX condition with a few better and a few worse. The cards have better than average photo clarity for cards found from this time period and include subjects such as Estelle Clayton, Lotta, Dietrich, Mollie Fuller among others. Great lot and a great start to this popular subseries of the N145 Duke's Actresses series.
