Interesting original owner card collection primarily boxing maintained within the same family for more than a century. The cards average F-P condition with considerable creasing surface and corner/edge wear. Collection includes the following: 1) 1910 T225 Prizefighters (3 cards): Attell Gardiner Lewis 2) 1910 E75 American Caramel (4 cards): Jim Corbett Marvin Hart Battling Nelson John L. Sullivan; 3) 1910 E77 American Caramel (15 cards): Coulon Driscoll Erne Flynn Hackenschmidt Houck Kaufman Kaufman/Johnson Lewis McFarland Moran O'Brien (2) Wolgast Wolgast/Nelson; 4) 1910 E229 National Licorice (2 cards): Gisseng (blank back possibly skinned) Goodwin; 5) 1920s W-UNC (1 card): Jack Johnson. 25 cards total. NOTE: an astute collector was kind enough to point out some discrepancies in our description particularly among the E75 and E77 cards. The description has been corrected.
