these cards are from a swap with a very popular board member

Looks like SOMEBODY is getting into the Indian Gums!  Welcome aboard, Tony.  (I especially like the Series of 288s.)

So,  for completeness, am curious what was the other side of this swap . . . what did Mr. Popularity get in return?  

Ralph - I have to respond to this one. I traded those IG cards to Tony. The cards he sent me triggered a song in my head and I CANN'T GET RID OF IT!!!!!!!!!!

BORN ON A MOUNTAINTOP IN TENNESSE
KILLED HIMSELF A BAR BEFORE HE WAS THREE
DAVEY DAVEY CROCKETT
KING OF THE WILD FRONTEIR

from a great board member...............

Ouch, that voice, that music!

Jerry -- we love your collecting, but please stop that singin' . . .

(You'll never make it in show biz, amigo. )

Another Samoset to add to the E's



Nice oddball trade card.....



E17B Dental Chewing Type. VERY VERY Tough. First I'd seen.



Also picked up (3) R114 Caramel presidents and (1) Sea Raider from JimVB from my list of needs on the main page. Thanks to JimVB!!!!

Tony, what happened to your tenth scan? It's a mirror image. Something you did with your software? You know you can't show the back of the cards that way right?! LOL

wadda ya mean? They came like that!! are they rare ? No I reversed the image by mistake but they look cool eh?

Envelope from William Paterson Confectionery, there is quite a few card sets produced by Paterson (not to be confuse with Patterson Candy of Toronto)

Recent pickups...

A few new BION cards I just got.

Jerry, I thought you had completed your set already, no wonder I cannot find any if you are hording them

lot of 74 cards with box. Great shape......

Claude I still need 10 cards to finish the set. Those were upgrades.

Wow! I didn't realize that these cards came in a box like that. I always thought that they came along with the figure that was pictured on the card. I have a few of these cards left over from my childhood, and never really remembered where they came from; but was pretty sure I once had the matching figure. I added a few more of these cards a few years ago from some eBay auctions. Does anyone know how many there are and what year they were produced? When I get home I will have to check my newly acquired copy of the NSB. I hope everyone has a nice weekend.

I picked up this complete "HENRY" Super Novelty Candy box at a show earlier today...and I can't look at it without laughing.

I've titled this the "HENRY LETS ONE RIP" card. Sadly, the dog later took revenge by eating Henry's rare card collection...

Tom Boblitt - that is a cool set. I would love to see a larger picture of them.

I have the Revolutionary War figure (flag carrier) from the top row.

I loved those marx soldiers as a kid.

Let me know if you are interested in the figure.

cheers

Weekend pickups..



Here is the completed map...

Best post ever. Thanks todd

Todd:

In-effin-credible!

I normally don't pry into other collector's finds, BUT, without giving away any sensitive details, how did you acquire this stuff? If I was more active in the NS hobby like I was 15 years ago, after seeing your find, I'd move to Columbus! Anyway, truly the most awesome find that I've seen on the board. Congrats!

Anyone else want to chip in and get Todd followed at weekends? This is the only way to find where he finds these treasures. Where is Columbus is it a nice place to holiday? I might visit for a month or 2. Great find Todd I am truely jealous

Hello to All ,

Hi Rick , ¢¾ Love the Henry box , many thanks for sharing . I haven't any Henry sets or issues but i think the humour & art work regarding Henry are superb .

Thanks for the share .

Mark

Tony,
No need for a detective. Columbus is easy to find. It is a small town in the middle of France.


The Story:
As I understand it these were file copies. A few complete sets in there (hopefully not that many as believe me these were not cheap!). I don't own much MINTY stuff from the 1930's so just had to have them. The colors and graphics on the box wrapper are amazing!

Here are some details:

Recent pickup..

Here's a sampling of the some recent pickups - None from Ebay.





What series is this bear from? The "Joines" above is Spanish?





Help ID? - Yellow Mutt and Jeff stamps, the cards on the left that look like 60s inserts, Dobbins Soap?














Made in Japan...

That Goofy die cut is F273-13 Kellogs "Joinies." There are twelve in a complete set.

Dish David........nice piece. Was going to pull the trigger but didn't. I have tons of the cards from the (5) sets, so it would have been a nice companion piece.

the Gypsy Queens are real. Nice one. I think your snipe was a bit higher than mine would have been so it worked out fine.

you are for sure the main man when it comes to early "E" stuff - an intersting niche especially due to lack of doccumentation. "To go boldly.........." Perhaps a presentation of sorts or guide-like project in the future?

That sounds like a project that would be say..........297 pages or so and counting.....

Tom, I collect many items as companion pieces for card sets too. Nice pickups!

Thanks Henry, same thing happened to me recently w/ a Duke mirror.

They Gypsy Queens arrived a couple days ago and indeed period over-sized advertising hangers / cards likely used for point of sale advertising. The really neat thing is texture is somewhat similar to the Marburg Yale Mixture textured cabinets. However, the GQs are not nearly as well defined.

lillian russell banner for duke - sorry for bad pic
point of sale kinney stand-up - part of a rare series





Dan - if you see this you might recognise the pose/costume as it's the same as was used on the Duke banner that both you and I owned. I gifted it to someone...........
