D. Buchner & Co. (USA) - (N285) Morning Glory Maidens


1888
(N285) Morning Glory Maidens in Gay Attire Engaged in Games and Trades
D. Buchner & Co.
USA
51 cards (1 Football)

Unnumbered cards each showing a young woman, similar to Ogden's Cigarettes' Lady Cricket and Football Team cards.
UPDATE:  Thanks to exdrummer on the CigaretteCardCollecting forum, who has informed me that there are three different 'backs' for this set. I'm still trying to track down an image of the checklist back.
UPDATE (22 December, 2014): Chris Corner has very kindly sent in a scan of the Checklist back, which he obtained from the Cartophilic Society of Great Britian reference book RB151 - North American Tobacco Issues. I'd also like to thank Steve F. (CigaretteCardCollecting forum) for the scan of the Cricket card from this collection.

UPDATE (26-04-2023 08:35):  According to new information provided on the Vintage Non-Sports Cards Forum, it seems that the cards issued by D. Buchner & Co. that are designated as N286 Musical Instruments, are probably a continuation of Morning Glory Maidens collection in the same way that the calendar cards are. The backs of the Musical Instruments cards are the same as the second version of the offer back shown here. You can see the complete checklist for these 23 cards here - D. Buchner & Co. (USA) - (N286) Musical Instruments.
UPDATE (28-04-2023 10:00):  Designs from the Morning Glory Maidens collection can also be found as cards issued by Barry and Reuter. You can find more on these two versions here:
