Near 19th Century set of Lundin’s Condensed Juniper-Ale of 46 cards, missing three.
Lot 237. Near 19th Century set of Lundin’s Condensed Juniper-Ale of 46 cards, missing three. Extremely rare and innovative set showing the Columbian Exposition of 1893, held in Chicago. The 46 2” x 3 1/8” cards depict black ink drawings of Chicago views. Ten of the cards carry red print advertising for Lundin products. The innovation of the set lies on the reverses which form a puzzle which when complete forms a beautiful 14” x 22” color map of the Columbia Exposition. We have provided a scan of the view the back gives (less the 3 missing cards) on our web page. The cards average excellent and we didn’t notice a crease.
Minimum Bid $500.
