Wheeler & Wilson

Title: Wheeler & Wilson
Description: 1900? 7 colored cards of one size advertising Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machines, and two cards of a slightly larger size. All have the Wheeler & Wilson logo, a circle in blue ink, with a white ring identifying the company and an inner circle of "W & W" in red.; CP. The design is taken from that used on the Coats (1885?) card in the apparent series of eight. In fact, it may be the same design, cropped to a narrower card (3"x4") and less well printed. There is a text on the reverse. On the front, Wheeler & Wilson have a nice logo of two red W's on a blue circle. $7 from Dave Cheadle, Englewood, CO, Sept., '99. Extra copy a gift of Ray and Pat Hanson, Garland, TX, July, '99.; CP. The design is exactly the same as in the Cheadle and Hanson cards (1900?, above), but both card and image are scaled down--from 3"x4" to 2½"x3½". The image is also more exact. The dimensions and typesetting are the same as those on the other Wheeler and Wilson cards. $6.50 from Dan Understahl, West Baden, Indiana, through Ebay, Jan., '00. Extra for $5 from Dave Cheadle, Englewood, CO, Sept., '99.; FC. The design is taken from that used on the Coats (1885?) card in the apparent series of eight. In fact, it may be the same design, cropped to a shorter card (3"x4") and less well printed. There is a text on the reverse. On the front, Wheeler & Wilson have a nice logo of two red W's on a blue circle. Gift of Ford Jacobsen and his mother, Oct., '01.; "The Fox and the Crow." The card is the same as that for Estey Piano Company that I have listed under "1890?" The text on the reverse is exactly the same down to the printing. $6.50 from Dan Understahl, West Baden, Indiana, through Ebay, Jan., '00.; "The Fox and the Goat." The card is the same as those for Huntington Pianos and Estey Piano Company that I have listed under "1890?" The text on the reverse is exactly the same down to the printing, but no advertising is added. This card was poorly aligned and cut by the printer. On the front, Wheeler & Wilson have a nice logo of two red W's on a blue circle. $5 from Dave Cheadle, Englewood, CO, Sept., '99.; "The Leopard and the Fox." The card is the same as those for Huntington Pianos and Estey Piano Company that I have listed under "1890?" The text on the reverse is exactly the same down to the printing, but there is, instead of the printed advertisement for Estey a stamp: "Love Bros, The House and Farm Furnishers, Worthington, Indiana." $6.50 from Don Understahl, West Baden, Indiana, through Ebay, Jan., '00.; LM. The reverse has the text of the fable and "D.Smith, Sole Agent, 94 Hodson Ave." $5 from Virginia Makis at The Four'um Antiques, Springfield, MA, through Ebay, Feb., '02.; "The Tortoise and the Hare." The card is the same as that for Estey Piano Company that I have listed under "1890?"
