Description: This RARE card was issued by the ARMOUR & Company of Chicago Illinois. They were one of the largest Meat Packing companies in the United States at the time. According to the back of the card one of these Soldiers (or Sailors) was in every pack of Armours Mince Meat. I have not been able to find this series listed in Any guides that I am aware of. Neither the American Card Catalgoue ACC, World Trade Index WTI Non Sports Bibble ect makes mention of this series. I believe that it is Un-recorded at this time. Because of this I am unable to ascertain how many are in the series and when it was issued. However the style of the uniform of the soldier is that of the USA during the Spanish American War. so my best estimate on the date of issue is sometime during the late \1890’s to early 1900’s. The Card measures just a little bit over 3 inches tall 2 1/8 by inches approximately wide. THIS CARD FEATURES AN OFFICER (i am not sure exactly sure what rank or service). The card does have a lighter crease at the neck, and the fold back line of the flaps, and a few spots of discoloration to the back. However I think it displays very well over all. I have scanned the card fairly large, front and back, for you to be able to judge condition for yourself. This is a rare card. Don’t miss out. 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 and Circus themes and many many more.

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.
