Description: Here we have a circa 1890’s Trade card issued by the Marburg Tobacco Co. To advertise their brand of North Carolina Cut Plug Tobacco. It is a fairly unique card as it was designed to be a mini ring toss type game card. From what I gather from the info on the card itself there was supposed to be a small ring that you shot with a rubber band attached to the card that you tried to land on the metal hook at the top of the card. The ring and the rubber band are long gone, but the metal hook is still present. The card measures 2 ¼ inches by 4 1/8 inches. The card has areas of discoloration and a bit of a bow to the card, but I think it displays very well. This is a rare card. In 40 years of card collecting across 2 generations in my family we have only come across the card once. I have not seen another on ebay in that time. Don’t miss out on this unique piece of over 130 year old tobacco advertising. 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, Cigarettes , 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, Dog Breeds, Circus themes and many more. 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. 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 by Sunday evening, 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. This will be mailed from the USA. For USA purchases I Can combine shipping. Please message me for details. Unfortunately Ebay’s International Shipping Program does not allow for combined shipments on international orders
