1920s COWANS Chocolate Card V20 FLOWERS Cowan COLUMBINE Coupon Card #19

Description: This scarce card is one in a series of 24 cards issued in Canada by the Cowan Confectionery Company of Stirling Road Toronto Ontario Canada. One was inserted into each package of their Cowan’s Chocolates. They are listed as V12 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue, they are entitled “WILD FLOWERS OF CANADA”. Although no guide that I am aware of gives a definite date of issue for this series it is generally assumed to have been in the 1920’s era The front of each card features a colorful image of the featured species and has a coupon attached to the bottom with the card number on it. The back of the card features a brief description of the flower, and has a premium offer from the Company. Customers could cut off the coupons from the bottom of the card and when they had numbers 1-24 complete they could mail them to Cowans in exchange for a 8 by 12 inch Flower Print. Because of this premium exchange offer from the company, finding these cards with the coupons still attached is extremely tough. Most kids would have cut the coupons off and sent them away for the print (what kid would turn down free stuff?) The back is in both the French and English Language. This Card is number 19 in the series and features a COLUMBINE flower. The Card measures 5 1/4 inches by 2 1/4 inches approximately. The card does have some areas of discoloration, some corner & edge wear, but is free from major creases. I have scanned the front and back of the card fairly large so you can determine the condition for yourself. THESE WERE NEVER ISSUED IN THE U.S. or UK Due to the lower population in Canada than in the US, print runs in Canada were much smaller compared with American Cards. (Because of this the majority of all Canadian non sports cards are far scarcer than cards issued in the USA and UK. 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.
