This is a truly incredible assemblage of Brooklyn (Nationals) cards issued by tobacco companies in the 19th and early 20th century. Although this collection was obviously put together very lovingly, attention was weighed in favor of variety rather than condition. A handful of cards from the 19th century are included; two N172 Old Judge cards (one skinned) and three N300 Mayo cards are present. The "T" cards from the early 1900's make up the bulk of this collection, included are representatives from Fatima (T200 and T222; one card each), Mecca T201 (four cards), Hassan T202 (five cards), Ramly T204 (one card), T205 (11 cards), T206 (29 cards), T207 (10 cards), Piedmont Art Stamps T330-2 (one stamp), and Helmar T332 (two stamps). Must be seen to be appreciated, with tremendous break value.
