Consolidated Cigarette Co. (USA) - (N352) Fine Colored Relief Cards (10) - Boxers


1888
N352 Fine Colored Relief Cards
Consolidated Cigarette Co. / Paxi Cigarettes
USA
100 cards (4 Football)

Very few subjects are known but it's safe to assume that all of the die-cut characters from any sheets featuring those that we know exist would have been used to create cigarette cards. The cards suggest there are 100 different subjects. That would require at least thirteen different sheets and we can only confirm seven so far. I've come across some examples of boxers which are similar to characters from the other sports and it's possible these may have been used to expand the series of cigarette cards, though this is still supposition on my part. An index of the die-cut sheets produced by Rapahel Tuck during this period would also be very welcome, but I have had no luck in tracking one down.
