1930's CLYDESDALE HORSE Card V14 COWAN’S CHOCOLATE Cocoa Horses Canadian Issue

Description

This fantastic card is one in a series of
24 horse cards issu
ed
in Canada 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 HORSE cards.
They are list
ed
as V14 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue.
Although Burdick does not give a date I believe that they are from the late 1920’s early 1930’s period.
Each card features a picture of the horse on the front of the card, and an informative description and history of the horse 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
CLYDESDALE
and is
Number 15 in the series
. The Card measures 3 3/16 inches by 1 ½
inches approximately. The card does have some creases and wear .
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, or enthusiast of this bre
ed
.
Were else can you pick up a
wonderful horse
print of this age and quality, this affordable?
THESE CARDS WERE NEVER ISSUED IN THE
U.S.A
or UK
Due to the lower population in Canada than in the US and UK,
print runs in Canada were much smaller compar
ed
with American and British 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

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.
I am actually located in Canada just across the border.
I have a U.S.A. mailing address, and I mail my items from the USA to avoid border delays.
