Baseball Trade Card A Fly Trade card Geo. F. Ropes & Co., apothecaries, 1880's?:
$199.99
I think this is an baseball trade card from the 1880s featuring a colorful illustration of a fly.
I have had a difficult time tracking down info here. From the webb search... advertising could be from 1870-1919 or even 1900 - 1950 (from another source). using the caricature of a baseball player. Looks like other stores used the image as well.
I believe the card was and advertisement for card Geo. F. Ropes & Co., Apothecaries. Located 214 Essex Street, Salem, Mass.
The 1st two pictures are of the actual card for sale... the 3rd picture in the listing (without the 4 stickers) is from searching the public domain of images.I'm sorry that I can not provide more details. I found it in a large lot of old sports trading cards and memorabilia.
Card comes in a hard top loader / plastic envelope.
Note - there are 4 small "stickers" on the rear of the card - see picture.:On the front of the card it states: "A card for every customer at our store, large or small."
On the reverse of the card it states:
"WE SELL THE BESTBEEF, WINE AND IR???BY THE BOTTLE OR PINT."
"XXXX Largest and Strongest Bottle-of-JAMACIA GINGER FOR 25C."
NOTE - I THINK THE WORD IS "JAMICA"
