1925 CAT Card COWANS Chocolates Card Cocoa V17 Cats COWAN Chocolate #22

Description: This scarce card is one in a series of 24 cards issued in Canada by the Cowan Confectionery Company of Stirling Road Toronto Ontario Canada. One was inserted into each package of their Cowan’s Chocolate . They are listed as series V17 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue, they are entitled “ NOTED CATS”. Although no guide that I am aware of gives a definite date of issue I have seen an advertisement for the card offer in a Trade Magazine issued in Oct. of 1925. The front of each card features a colorful image of a Champion Breed of Cat. The back gives a brief description of the featured cat in both the English and French languages. This card is card number 22 in the series. The Card measures 2 5/8 inches by 1 7/16 inches approximately. This series is a bit of an anomaly in the card collecting world. I can’t think of another non-modern series that features cats as it’s subjects. I know of hundreds of dogs series but no other Cat series comes to mind. The card has some slight edge and corner wear, is free from major creases. I have scanned the front and back of the card fairly large so you can determine the condition for yourself. THESE CARDS WERE NEVER ISSUED IN THE U.S. and are scarce. Due to the lower population in Canada than in the US, print runs in Canada were much smaller compared with American Cards. (Because of this the majority of all Canadian non sports cards are far scarcer than card issued in the USA and UK.I will be trying to list several EARLY TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few days (spread across different categories), including one or two that are unrecorded in any guide, that were put given away with Tobacco, Cigarettes , Caramel, Candy, Gum, Chocolate, Bread Coffee Tea Cereal and other products, covering such diverse subjects as Native American Indians , Baseball , Football, Boy Scouts, Ice Hockey, Golf, Presidents of the United States, NCAA and IVY League Colleges and Universities, Dog Breeds, Circus themes and many more.
