my apologies to Roger Clark

He sent this picture (and others) that "got lost" in the miriad of email imagaes on my laptop.

Hopefully, he will give more information (size, era issued)

Well, I found this in the back of Dad's Hamilton King cabinet card binder. It is 6 1/2" x 10 3/8", copyright 1893 by Donaldson Bro. The image is trimmed a little at the bottom. While it says August, there is nothing on the back that indicates it was part of a calendar. Actress does look familar. If any member has any information, I certainly would be interested.

I can't provide much info but have (4) Old Virginia Cheroots hangers and a Certificate. I think the first hanger is a 'sample' while the others are 'redemption'? I think (1) coupon was included in a box of (250), according to the Premium Certificate. This looks like one of the harder redemption items but they are not worth much too much today yet! This is all the info I know about the Old Virginia Cheroots hangers / redemption.

They are all very nice, but the Scottish lass is exceptional. Another example of exceptional lithography and a very colorful image.

this is an excellent topic. We have some mixed apples and oranges thing going on - and a lot of questions that relate to the Whitlock company issues and their classification - especially how it relates to the issue classified as "T8".
I don't have a lot of time now. The ATC store card with the smoker listing 5 subjects on it is one of at least 3 different examples (CRS - think was fourth with pebbling on the smaller card) of the same image I've owned or seen - size and style you showed, size mentioned in Forbes and classified as T8 with pebbled surface with advertising, and the same size WITHOUT advertising. Why anyone would classify any of the three samples as a "T" card is well beyond me - they are store cards, advertising posters, point of sale trade cards/store cards but NOT an insert related issue. I've had the complete set large (sold) but have a couple of examples in the closet. Uncle Sam obviously the most sought.
As for the other "store cards" (with or without grommet I classify them the same way) - they're neat. I just got the scanner working so I did a small Lillian Russell. Interesting to try and put them in a time line. I assume anything with ATC would come later than those without - it seems Whitlock issued the 4 panel "set" BEFORE the merger (circa 1900 nearly 10 years after formation ATC). There is a MIX of what are stock images and those that appear to be made specifically for them......



(edited to correct minor error)

Hoping when I have a bit more time to come back to this OR perhaps others will pitch in to explore this topic a little more. With the title as it is - I'm afraid it will get lost..............

fantastic topic, i know nothing about 19th century material but am learning tons from the 54 boys.
