Description: This fantastic card was issued as a insert Premium by the W.F. MCLAUGHLIN & Co. of Chicago Illinois. to advertise their brand of XXXX Coffee, during the 1890's era . It is one from a series of 16 cards entitled “ Scenes in Japan ” . This series has been designated as series K53 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue (ACC ). The front of the card shows a color photo illustrated portrait of life in JAPAN as it appeared at the Time. The colorful lithography was done by the Donaldson Bros. Lithography Company of New York. The back of the card features advertising for McLaughlin XXXX Coffee. This card is titled "JAPANESE PRIESTS. The card measures 5 3/8 inches by 6 7/8 inches approximately. The card does have some creasing, edge wear, a smaller edge tear and light pencil writing on the border. I think it is a great image. This is a scarce series. I have scanned both the front and back of the card fairly large for you to be able to judge condition for yourself. I will be listing more from this series on ebay. 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, 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 and Circus themes.

Due to my work schedule and distance to the post office I am only able to ship Monday Mornings. 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.
