Description

This fantastic card is one in a series of 24 dog cards issu ed in Canada during 1929-1930 by the Cowan Confectionery Company. One was insert ed into each package of their Cowan’s Mell-o-Milk Chocolates. This is a very rare series of dog cards. They are list ed as V13 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue. Each card features a picture of the bre ed on the front of the card, and an informative description and history of the bre ed on the back. I am not sure who the original artist was who paint ed these images, however they do feature a signature. This card features a GORDON SETTER and is number 13 in the series. The Card measures 3 inches by 1 ½ inches approximately. The card does have some areas of discoloration to the front and back, as well as some slight edge and corner wear, but is free from major creases. I have scann ed the front and back of the card fairly large so you can determine the condition for yourself. This would make an excellent display piece or gift for any owner, bre ed er or enthusiast of this bre ed . THESE CARDS WERE NEVER ISSUED IN THE U.S. and are scarce. Due to the lower population in Canada than in the US , print runs in Canada were much smaller compar ed with American Cards. (Because of this the majority of all Canadian non sports cards are far scarcer than cards issu ed in the USA and UK 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.
