Card Details Below: |
|
Year(s): |
1909 |
ACC Set Designation: |
T204 |
Set Name: |
Ramly |
Country: |
United States |
Description: |
Althought the Mentor Company of Boston issued both
Ramly and T.T.T. brand Turkish tobacco cigarettes, the cards in
this set take their name from the more common of the two brands.
By whatever name, the set is one of the more interesting and attractive
of the early 20th Century. The 2" X 2X1/2" cards carry black and
white photographic portraits with impressive gold embossed frames
and borders on the front. Toward the bottom appears the player's
last name, position, team and league. The backs carry only the most
basic information on the cigarette company. |
