VICTORIAN Trade Card - Alden Fruit Vinegar, Indians Chasing a "Something"

Welcome to ROBINS NEST MIDWEST! May I offer….

AGE: C.1890 or so – give or take

ITEM: A Victorian era Trade Card for Alden Fruit Vinegar. The graphic on the front is of some type of animal drinking from a barrel of Vinegar. In the background, Native American Indians are chasing/hunting the animal. And what kind of animal? I sure don't know. It has the body of an elephant and the head of a hippo, but no such critter exists in the US as far as I know.

CONDITION: Very nice for its age although there is glue residue to the back of the card from having been pasted in a scrap album. Also, some of the writing is light - again, probably from being in an album for so long.

PRINTERS MARKS: Looks like Bufford, Boston, Mass (lower left).

SIZE: 4-7/16" x 2-5/8"

FINAL COMMENTS: I can put an awful lot of paper into one envelope so if you are buying in bulk, please wait for me to amend the invoice before making payment.

Anyone want?
