Measuring approximately 5 3/4" x 2 3/4" and printed on heavy stock, colorful uncatalogued advertising trade card for Runkel's Cocoa & Chocolates.  The front printed in red, gold and black, the featured image is of a baseball game in progress, set inside a red frame flanked by gold baseball bats.  The reverse features advertisements for Runkel's Chocolate Almond Mil and Runkel's Almond Milk Chocolate bars, printed in red.  With the card likely dating to the turn of the century, Runkel's Cocoa and Chocolate was a New York based company that was founded in the 1870s and continued as a going concern at least into the 1930s.  G/VG condition with some foxing and age-related discoloration on the reverse, and some chipping to the edges and corners visible against the red background.
