1888 R & S Die Cuts

Posted By: davidcycleback

They are scraps (die-cut cardboard figures) that were punched out. The official name for these types of die cuts is 'scraps' and they can be of everything from angels to flowers to puppies. Below is a picture of three pieces still stuck together. They were sold to kids who would punch them out and put them in albums or whatever. Collecting scraps was a popular kid's pastime. If you look at late 1800s Victorian albums, you will see that kids collected trade cards, trading cards and scraps together ... I owned the below R & S Die Cuts and, while they are somewhat small and don't depict specifica players, they are quality items and worth collecting.
