1930 SHEEP DOG Card COWANS Chocolate V13 Cowan cocoa Canadian SHEEPDOG

Description

This fantastic card is one in a series of  24 dog cards issu
ed
in
Canada
during 1929-1930 by  the Cowan Confectionery Company.  One was insert
ed
into each package of their Cowan’s  Mell-o-Milk Chocolates.  This is a very  rare series of dog cards.  They are list
ed
as V13 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue. Each card features a picture of the bre
ed
on the front of the card, and an informative description and history of the bre
ed
on the back.  I am not sure who the original artist was who paint
ed
these images, however they do feature a signature.   This card features a
SHEEPDOG
and is number 21 in the series. The Card measures 3 inches by 1 ½  inches approximately.  The card does have some edge and corner wear, but is free from major creases.   I have scann
ed
the front and back of the card fairly large so you can determine the condition for  yourself. This would make an excellent display piece or gift for any owner, bre
ed
er or enthusiast of this bre
ed
.
THESE CARDS WERE NEVER ISSUED IN THE
U.S.
and are scarce.  Due to the lower population in
Canada
than in the
US
,  print runs in
Canada
were much smaller compar
ed
with American Cards.
(Because of this the majority of all Canadian non sports cards are far scarcer than cards issu
ed
in the US.
.
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.  To view the other cards I have up on ebay please click  on the “View Sellers other Items” Icon located on this page. It will take you directly to them.
I am actually located in Canada just across the border.  I have a U.S.A. mailing address, and I mail my items from the USA to avoid border delays.
Due to my work schedule and distance to the post office I am only able to ship  Monday Mornings
.  If I haven’t received payment for an item the EVENING BEFORE Monday  the item will have to wait until the next Monday  to go out. Its unfortunate but unavoidable.  If this doesn’t work for you I respectfully ask that you do not bid or buy. Thanks again.
I will COMBINE SHIPPING within Canada and the USA on items of similar size that are sold on the same day.
I am sorry but ebay's global shipping program does not allow combined shipping on International shipments
