Description: This amazing piece of American Harness Racing Memorabilia was issued by the J & P COATS Company as a Premium advertising their Six Cord Spool Cotton, during . It is one from a series entitled “ Famous Horses” (Second Series) . It features portrait photographs of famous Champion Running, Trotting and Pacing thoroughbreds done in a Cabinet Card Style. Each card is fairly large and measure 4 6/8 inches by 4 3/16 inches approximately. Unfortunately I have not been able to find this series referenced in any guide that I am aware of (that includes Burdick’s American Card Catalogue) Because of this I have never been able to confirm a date. However after doing some research on the site allbreedpadigree.com I have found that most of the horses I have come across were born in the late 1880’s through to the mid 1890’s. Because of this I have always assumed that these cards were issued during the lat 1890’s. However that is just informed speculation on my part. This cards features FANTASY. The card does have some creasing, and wear. Despite this I think it is a strong image that displays very well. I have scanned this card fairly large for you to be able to judge condition. This is a fantastic cross over collectable. Highly desired by collectors of Rare American Horseracing memorabilia and historical items, This would make a fantastic addition to any Horse Racing or HARNESS Racing or TROTTER Memorabilia Collection. This would also make a fantastic and rare display piece that would make an unforgettable gift for any Thoroughbred Breeder, Owner or Enthusiast. Don’t miss out on this 120 plus year old piece. As it is over 125 years old it qualifies as an official American Antique. . 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, 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 and Circus themes.
