VINTAGE CIGARETTE CARDS

About a year ago I was at a street fair in my nyc neighborhood. I met a lovely woman with a passion for collecting and selling vintage collectible cigarette cards. The subject of these cards are oddly enough, dogs, not cigarettes. One of my biggest loves are dogs, especially my little one, Isabelle. I quickly picked up a yorkshire terrier card issued by Gallaher LTD from 1936. Recently I ran into my card dealer again at a flea market on the west side. I scanned her collection and chose yet another yorkshire terrier card (isabelle's breed) issued by John Player & Sons of Player's Cigarettes from 1925 to add to my collection.

Here are a few Gallaher cards I found on the web:
