Posted here because I didn't know where else to post it - T88

[cubman1941]

I have a Sovereign Mutt and Jeff Series card with "Oh You Cubs" on front. I have found it is a T88 but the years vary. Some say 1906 some say early 1900's some say 1910. I was wondering if anyone knows the date these were made. I suspect there were different years as my has CUBS on sleeve and there is supposedly a variation that does not have the CUBS on the sleeve.

Thanks.

The Mutt and Jeff Series could be that early, but most of what I have seen are from the teens and 1920s - any pictures?

Thanks Jimmy

Here are pictures. I just noticed the "13" if that helps.

Thanks.

Yep, they are the smaller ones like T206 size - had these a few times

around 1910 or so - there are others from the teens and 20s that have bit more design to them that may not even be a tobacco issue more like a strip card

What you have is the much harder early version of Mutt and Jeff items

very cool!
