The N309 American Eagle Tobacco Presidents set uses stock picturing the busts of the first 22 American presidents against a cream type background with a facsimile signature on the bottom front of the card. There is also a rectangular box on the bottom of the card where advertising could be placed. The N309 version of the cards comes from American Eagle Tobacco of Detroit, Michigan and advertising is applied to the back of the cards with none on the fronts. The cards are very popular in any format from any advertiser and are widely collected as are many president cards from the time frame.
This N309 Mixed Brand Complete Set of (23) U.S. Presidents Cards is EASILY the nicest N309 assemblage we have had the pleasure to offer. Originating in the collection of one of the premier "N" card collectors around, this set of (23) cards was cultivated to include cards from no less than four different N309 tobacco card sets with both front and/or. back advertising. The cards in this lot grade between Fair/Good and VGEX but the overall look is very consistent and this is likely the only opportunity to pick up a complete set of these cards with this type of importance.
The advertising breakdown is as follows: 5 for 10c Daly Cigars (11), August Beck Yum Yum (3), American Eagle (8), Mayo Cut Plug (1).
