1940s TENNIS Cracker Jack LOWNEY Card V410 Sports YESTERDAY #29 Canadian

Description: This colorful card was issued by the Walter M. Lowney Company of Montreal, as an insert premium in their brand of Cracker Jack Popcorn in the Late 1940’s to early 1950’s (this is my personal speculation, based largely on the fact that Lowney also issues a similar series that featured WW2 Airplanes in the late 40’s. The Walter M. Lowney Company OF Montreal was under contact with the Cracker Jack Company of Chicago in the United States to Manufacture and sell Cracker Jack Popcorn in Canada. It is from a series of 48 cards entitled “Sport Yesterday and today” and are listed as series V410 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue. The Front of the Card features a particular sport image depicting it’s historical beginnings, or it’s modern version at the time. While the back features a description of the sport. Also in small print on the back of each card are the words “copyright applied for” and “Litho in Canada”. There are two different variations of this card series, one was issued with square corners and one with the rounded corners. This card is a ROUND corner variation number 29 in the series and features TENNIS YESTERDAY. The cards measures 3 inches by 2 ½ inches by approximately. The card does have some creasing. I have scanned the card fairly large for you to be able to judge condition for yourself. THESE CARDS WERE NEVER ISSUED IN THE U.S.A and are scarce. Due to the lower population in Canada than in the US, these cards were not issued in large numbers in Canada. (Because of this the majority of all Canadian none sports cards are far scarcer than cards issued in the USA) 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, 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 and Circus themes.

Due to my work schedule and distance to the post office I am only able to ship Monday Mornings. If I haven’t received payment for an item by Sunday evening, the item will have to wait until the next Monday to go out. Its unfortunate but unavoidable. If this doesn’t work for you I respectfully ask that you do not bid or buy. Thanks again. This will be mailed from the USA.
