Victorian Trade Card - Arbuckle Brothers Coffee Company - Birds - EURASIAN GOLDFINCH (#64) (damaged)
SERIES: Birds and Miscellany
This is one of a series of 50 cards issued by Arbuckles' in the 1880's depicting birds (#51-#69) and other miscellaneous subjects (#70-#100), and advertising their "Ariosa" coffee. Although the bird isn't identified on the card, my best guess is that it appears to be a Eurasian Goldfinch.
The back shows the Arbuckles' factory buildings, dock, railroad cars, and a steam ship.
SIZE: 5" x 3"
DATE: Not dated, but likely late 1880s
LITHOGRAPHER: Not identified
CONDITION: Just fair, I'd say, but perhaps it can serve as a space-filler in your collection until a better copy comes along. The card is a bit soiled and the margins of all four sides have been trimmed slightly. There's also a sharp horizontal crease traversing the card just below the bird's beak. The front has a small spot of extraneous paper stuck to the tree stump and the back carries some glue residue. (Please see scans.)
MULTIPLE ITEM SHIPPING DISCOUNT: I will ship up to 4 cards for the single base shipping charge shown. For purchases of more than 4 cards, the shipping charge will increase by just a small increment for every 4 additional cards.
