This  card is from a popular series of  50  cards issued as a premium by the PHILADELPHIA CARAMEL Company of  Camden New Jersey,  entitled “ Zoo Cards Quadrupeds ”  .  One card was inserted in each package of their ZOO CARAMELS Brand.  This series is designated as E28 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue.  I have not been able to find a date of their issue in any reference guide I have, but I believe they were issued in the 1910’s era.   The front of the card features an image of  a wild Animal.  The images are identical to the one used by Allen & Ginter in their N21 Quadrupeds Series of Tobacco Cards issued in 1890.   The back features a list of all of the card in the series. This card features a LLAMA.  The card  measures  2 ¾    inches by 1 ½  approximately.  The card does have some edge and corner wear, but is free from major creases.  I have scanned the front and back of the card fairly large so you can determine the condition for yourself. 

I  will be trying to list several  EARLY TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few days (spread across different categories), including one or two that are unrecorded in any guide, that were put given away with Tobacco, Cigarettes , Caramel, Candy, Gum, Chocolate, Bread Coffee Tea Cereal and other products, covering such diverse subjects as Native American Indians , Baseball , Football, Boy Scouts, Ice Hockey, Golf, Presidents of the United States, NCAA and IVY League Colleges and Universities, Dog Breeds,  Circus themes and many more.  To view the other cards I have up on ebay please click  on the “View Sellers other Items” Icon located on this page. It will take you directly to them.
