Shurey's Illustrated

18 known

Shurey's Illustrated was first published on 14 October, 1899 and ran for 183 issues until 8 April, 1903. The following week it was renamed as Shurey's Illustrated Sketch Book but only continued for a further 10 issues (nos. 184-193) before being incorporated into Sketchy Bits on 24 June, 1903.
Commencing with issue no.50 on 22nd September, 1900, Shurey's Illustrated included portraits of Famous Footballers.
This list is incomplete. I've seen a collection of 15 advertised at auction some time ago as being a complete set, but this is incorrect. There are at least 18, maybe more. I don't know the numbers of the first twelve players listed here, but I believe they are in the order they were published. Unfortunately, there is one name missing as the first numbered one I know is no. 14.
UPDATE (28-07-2019 12:54):  I originally thought that the team photos were on the reverse of the Famous Footballers but Phil Martin has informed me that is incorrect. He has been able to number and date the first 12 Famous Footballers and has provided the name of the 13th player in the series. I have removed all reference to the Football Teams and will create a new post to deal with them.
UPDATE (16-12-2020 17:37):  Ian has left a comment listing another seven portraits, numbers 19 to 26. It can be assumed that these were issued with numbers 68 to 75 of Shurey's Illustrated but this has not been confirmed.

Chocolat Tobler - Set 15: Somer-Sporto (Summer Sports)



1919
Set 15: Somer-Sporto (Summer Sports)
Tobler Chocolate / Tobler Chokolado
Switzerland
12 'stamps' (1 Football)

I believe these are the Swiss versions of the stamps and are written in Esperanto. They were issued in a number of countries around Europe and I think there was an English version. I would be pleased to hear from anyone who can provide further information about these Tobler Chocolate issues.

UPDATE:  I had an e-mail from a collector which included some information on this set....
Tobler edited series no. 15 with a black frame in Esperanto in 1919, followed by the one you have in your blog - white back also in Esperanto. In the middle of the 1920s until 1929, the English version from which you have only stamp no. 177, was the most commonly available set.

169.  Teniso (Tennis)

170.  Balno e Neto (Bathing and Swimming)
171.  Kurkonkurso (Foot Racing)
172.  Biciklismo (Bicycling)

This company issued thousands of football cards in the 1920s and 1930s but there's very little information available about them. I just found another with British interest.

Arthur Adams, Chesterfield / Adams' "Sports" Virginia Cigarettes - ZJ5-54/H775 Chesterfield Football Club


1923-24

ZJ5-54/H775 Chesterfield Football Club
Arthur Adams, Chesterfield / Adams' "Sports" Virginia Cigarettes
28 cards

Matt Stevens has kindly sent in photos of this set of anonymous photographic cards, issued by Arthur Adams, Chesterfield. They were originally listed by the Cartophilic Society as a 'Trade' item, but as you can see from the advert in a contemporary Chesterfield F.C. programme the photos were available with cigarettes - Adams' "Sports" Virginia. They are unnumbered, and there are two different types of card:

Black and white, name below photo, followed by 'Chesterfield F. C.'
Sepia, name within photo, followed by 'Chesterfield F. C.'
The Cartophilic Society handbooks list a total of 52 cards, so some of Matt's cards listed here are unrecorded and are duly noted as such. I've added League appearances for all the players listed and noted those that failed to play any League games while at the club. It helps to support Matt's thoughts that the 28 cards he has were issued in 1923-24, but it's obvious that Arthur Adams issued cards over a number of seasons
