The Boston Garter baseball cards from 100 years ago are among the rarest and oddest ever issued, depicting players in the locker room, often in states of undress and showing off sock garters. The colorful baseball cards promoting the product came out around the same time as this case with glass front and "Boston Garter" reverse painting. Boston Garter" also appears on both sides of the display. Inside the hinged lid is a notice of warning against the use of this display with products other than the Boston Garter. It's in VG condition and measures 13.5" x 7.5" x 10".
