circa 1800's :  "You are Always Safe Using...."  - Cowboy Bear Hunter, Bottle, etc. 

"Belding Bros. Superior Spool Silk."  Big: Approx. 6 x 3.5 inches. - Scarcer Sewing Thread Card

CONDITION:  NOTE - I could not spot the "repairs" when I purchased this trade card on ebay.

Several dealers are selling cards (knowingly... or not?) that are repaired without mentioning the repairs.

Displays well, but close inspection reveals professional restoration of white margins, reconstructed.

Please study the scans very closely to be certain you're okay with the repairs.

NOTE:  Like many Victorian sewing thread cards, humor appears via a Satirical Substitution of thread or spool,

swapping the sewing product in place of a real-life item, in this case... thread for bear leash tether rope!

Pipe smoking Hunter, whiskey bottle, teasing mad bear - Antique Sewing -related Advertising Card.

+ Over 1,000+ more fabulous antique & vintage cards are currently listed at the Dave Cheadle Card Store.
