No the Australian issues are both pink and sepia.

Curious why anyone assumes that they were issued in Australia? Other than the boxers depicted came from that area, style of card etc... Not sure it makes sense that a handful or so of the N174's were issued from Australia and one from UK (Jem Smith). Anybody else have any thoughts?

The UK and Aussie OJ's looked different (with the different text at the bottom). They also matched other cards from the set during that era. The Jem Smith card is from what I understand part of a set containing celebrities, etc but I haven't seen other cards fomr that set to match it with.
The Aussie N174's are from a set that includes politicians and football players. The boxing cards and the other cards from this set share the same layout, text, etc (as well as the boxers depicted all being well known and fighting in Australia at the time). THe Aussie N174's are dated c.1890, due to who is depicted on the cards. I have a list of the set in the Asutralian edition of the World Tobacco Index I have at home. I think I also have some other scans of politicians in the set.

And now for something really interesting.
The Aussie N174 footballers came in two different styles. The example I showed above, with the blank back. And the pic I have below. Not sure if you can see it in this picture, but this didn't have the Old Judge writing on the front - but it had an OJ advertisement on the back of the card. I have never seen two cards depicting the same player in both formats, so I can't say if some players were one format, and some the other. If I ever do see two players with two different format cards, then we can only assume that the boxers may also come with this type (with the OJ advert on the back). Now that would be cool. ![]() |
