Antique lot of two original Victorian advertising trade cards for the Carpenter Organ Co., compliments of agent J.A. Sheridan, 78 Cedar Street, Syracuse, New York.

These matching cards feature charming humorous illustrations by George Hayes titled:

• "A Bite"

• "Caught a Crab"

Approximate size: 3 x 4.25 inches each.

Condition:

Both cards display well from the front but have heavy scrapbook album staining/residue on the reverse. There is age-related wear, corner wear, light surface wear, and minor handling consistent with antique paper ephemera. Please examine all photos carefully as they are part of the description.

A nice matching pair for collectors of Victorian trade cards, advertising ephemera, organ and music memorabilia, Syracuse New York history, or scrapbook/junk journal projects.
