1884 Gold Background Cards. Liebig Company's Extract.
I am so happy to have found a good set of these cards that I will illustrate both the set found earlier, several in poor condition, and the set recently acquired, all in good condition. Each of the pictures is set against a solid gold background. Click on any one in the good set, and a larger version comes up on the screen.
Earlier set: FC: $5 either at Sacramento, Dec., '96 or Foster City, Feb., '97. Three other cards for a total of $5 from Janet Bernichon, Shirley, NY, through eBay, Nov., '02. $10 for the last two from Albert Van den Bosch, Antwerp, Belgium, April, '13. Later set: $118.42 from Mariotti Filatelia, Milan, through eBay, March, '18. FSII in English a gift of Susan Carlson, Dec., '23. On the verso of the earlier cards are directions in English for beef-tea, vegetable soup, and other delights. A comment printed sideways on the cards seems to claim that a first class French Chef accepted a position only when he was promised that he would be liberally supplied with Liebig's. There are several formats on the verso of the later cards. I illustrate them below the picture sides here. - Date
