Antique NATIONAL TYPES Coffee Card K113 TRIPOLI FLAG and WOMAN International

Description

This  fantastic card was issu
ed
by the International  Coffee Company of Greenwich & Vandam Streets in New York City as an  insert premium in their brands of  Famous Old Homestead Coffee.  Although no guide gives a specific year of issue it is generally assum
ed
that these were issu
ed
in the late 1910s  This series is designat
ed
as K113 in Burdicks American Card Catalogue, and is entitl
ed
“NATIONAL FLAG , ARMS , & COSTUME”.  Unfortunately Burdick does not provide any information with regards to how many are in a series,   however I have personally come across  8 different nationalities in this series so far.   The front of the card features a colorful image featuring a person in the traditional costume of the featur
ed
country, with the National Arms and Flag, all surround
ed
by a beautiful border done in the Art Nouveau style (very Mucha in style ).  The back features a brief description of the country and advertising the Coffee and also giving details about a Silverware premium that you could exchange the cards found in each package for.  This card features TRIPOLIS.    The card measures  3 5/8  inches by 1 7/8 inches  approximately.  The card does have some various wear and creasing.  I have scann
ed
the card fairly large for you to be able to judge condition for yourself.
These are fairly scarce cards,  I imagine that many were exchang
ed
for the silverware offer mention
ed
on the back
.
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.
I will COMBINE SHIPPING within Canada and the USA on items of similar size that are sold on the same day.
I am sorry but ebay's global shipping program does not allow combined shipping on International shipments.
