1890s-1900 NAKED WOMAN PUZZLE Card POLAR BEAR Tobacco Advertisement Card RARE

Description

This Tobacco advertising card was issued card was issu
ed
by the LUHRMAN & WILBERN Tobacco Company of Cincinnati Ohio.. to advertise their brand of Polar Bear Tobacco.  I have not been able to find this ad in any reference guide that I am aware of.  I am unsure of the date, but I estimate that it is late 1890’s to early 1900’s based on the text on the back that states “Not made by a trust”    The front of the card is a puzzle card, asking you to find the woman.  If you look at his face a naked woman can be seen hidden away (hint…checkout his nose).  The back features a advertising for the product.  The Cards measures 2 3/4 inches by 4 ¾  inches  approximately. The card is printed on paper stock.  It does have some edge tears, , creasing and various wear, however this is to be expected for a piece of this age printed on thin paper stock.   I have scann
ed
the cards fairly large for you to be able to judge condition for yourself. This is a rare piece. Don’t miss out
I  will be trying to list several  EARLY TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few days (spread across different categories),
including one or two that are unrecorded in any guide, that were put given away with Tobacco, Caramel, Candy, Gum, Chocolate, Bread Coffee Tea Cereal and other products, covering such diverse subjects as Native American Indians , Baseball , Football, Boy Scouts, Ice Hockey, Golf, Presidents of the United States, NCAA and IVY League Colleges and Universities and Circus themes.  To view the other cards I have up on ebay please click  on the “View Sellers other Items” Icon located on this page. It will take you directly to them.
I am actually located in Canada just across the border.  I have a U.S.A. mailing address, and I mail my items from the USA to avoid border delays.
Due to my work schedule and distance to the post office I am only able to ship  Monday Mornings
.  If I haven’t received payment for an item the EVENING BEFORE Monday  the item will have to wait until the next Monday  to go out. Its unfortunate but unavoidable.  If this doesn’t work for you I respectfully ask that you do not bid or buy. Thanks again
