Description: This rare card is one in a series of 150 cards issued in Canada by the IMPERIAL Tobacco Company of Canada. One card was inserted with their brands of Cigarettes during the early 1910s. The Series is entitled “Champion Athletes and Prize Fighters” and is listed in Burdicks American Card Catalogue as series C52. The front of each card depicts an illustrated image of an athlete (Boxers, Bowling, Billiards & Pool, Track Athletes and Golfers Aviators ect.). The images used are the same ones used by the American Tobacco Company for their Hassan and Mecca Cigarettes T218 series of Cards issued in the United States of America. The back lacks advertising for the company or brand but does feature biographical details about the featured athlete. This card features CHARLES KEENEY HAMILTON a AVIATOR who worked with the Wright Brothers The card measures 2 ½ inches by 2 7/8 inches approximately. The card does have some creasing and ink writing on the back. I have scanned the card front and back fairly large for you to be able to judge condition for yourself. THESE CARDS A MUCH HARDER TO FIND THAN THEIR COUNTERPARTS IN THE UNITED STATES Due to the lower population in Canada than in the US, print runs in Canada were much smaller compared with American Cards. Because of this the majority of all Canadian cards are far scarcer than card issued in the USA. I will be trying to list several EARLY TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few days (spread across different categories), including one or two that are unrecorded in any guide, that were put given away with Tobacco, Cigarettes , Caramel, Candy, Gum, Chocolate, Bread Coffee Tea Cereal and other products, covering such diverse subjects as Native American Indians , Baseball , Football, Boy Scouts, Ice Hockey, Golf, Presidents of the United States, NCAA and IVY League Colleges and Universities, Dog Breeds, Circus themes and many more.
