Just getting an early start to the November pick ups, the October was getting kinda full.

Happy to have finally acquired some HOW Canada... NOW.

Here is another recent pick up and I don't really know if this sport falls into the NS forum but this is the first known (at least to me) Canadian Blank Back Printers Proofs.

Has anyone else every seen a printers proof from this or any other 1910 series from Canada?

He looks like a ghost, just in time for Halloween!

A few misc. pickups....

Sweet cards,and Danny is a great bloke to chat with and to deal with.

From Mr. Moses. I picked up two others from him also, but I couldn't get the pics to load for some reason. Maybe they are over the size limit.

Trade-ville from the forum,was happy to add this one. A great way to go,would love to see more action over there.

richard, nice swap, do you have any dups in the high numbers?

Just got this in a couple of days ago and am very glad to add it to the collection. It was pretty crumpled up, but with some TLC it doesn't look half bad. After I got it, I noticed it is a slight variation from the two shown in the Gallery. It doesn't have the "Save these wrappers..." block of text, and there are more red ink highlights in certain areas (Pegleg pirate hate).

Hi Tony ,

Back from the flea....



You don't see the envelopes very often...




The non-diecut tanks are tough!




Sicle planes - I still need some numbers - any traders out there?


Still need a #22 - anyone got one?




Box was full of all those little toys. I doubt thay all originally came in the one box?????

Todd, that Tattoo Gum Popeye stuff is freakin' amazing!

The store poster looks mint and so do those wrappers. (Or are they sealed packs?  Wouldn't surprise me, the way you've been rolling, lately).

Congrats!

Yes, Ralph. They are all unused and "Ralph Perry Minty Fresh".

Aieeeeeeyah!

Now, Todd, deliver the coup de grace by telling us you picked them up for just $49.

("I yam what I yam and dat's all dat I yam: Todd Riley the Collector Man!" toot-toot!)

Is this form the same series as your Lion Coffee items? I just happened to pick it up not too long ago...

Ralph, I wish! Just because I get this stuff at a flea market doesn't mean I get it cheap. Reasonable perhaps - but rarely cheap.


Rhett,
There are 3 different series of the Lion coffee die-cuts similar to what has been posted. There are 16 different sets of 4 in each series. The 4 piece sets all have a number on them somewhere so you can tell what you need. The 3 series are:

Nursey Rhymes
Doll House
Occupations (which is what you have)

All are slotted so the parts all interconnect. My favorite is the Little Red Riding Hood from the Nursey Rhymes set. It has grandma in the bed and she is slotted along her hairline and the wolf's face can slide into it so it looks like the wolf is in the bed with grandma's hat on.
