Description: This scarce card was issued by the L. MILLER & SONS Tobacco Company of NEW YORK U.S.A. as an insert premium in their brand of LE ROY Tobacco, Cigarettes and Cigars sometime between 1897 and 1901 (Based on the Dates of McKinley’s Inauguration and assassination, and his image as the USA’s leader in the set, it would have to have been issued between those dates). It is one from a series of 50 cards entitled , “ RULERS OF THE WORLD ”. It is designated as series T98 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue. The front of the card features a bust portrait of the featured countries Leader, with the countries flag as a backdrop.. The back features fairly detailed history of the leader, and statistics about his country at the time of issue. This card features LORD BRASSEY Govnr. Of VICTORIA AUSTRALIA. The Card measures 3 1/8 inches by 2 inches approximately. The card has some creasing and a spot print loss to the bottom front left corner. I have scanned the card fairly large for you to be able to judge condition for yourself. 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.
