Description: This colorful card was issued by the St. Jacobs Oil Limited of Toronto Ontario Canada It is a very unique metamorphic trade card , whose front features and image of King Edward VII, with a small “window” where his face appears. When you open the card it reveals his mother Queen Victoria and you realize it was her face peeking through the “window”. I am unsure of the year it was issued, however my best guess would be sometime in the early 1900-1910’s era It measures 2 ¾ inches by 4 3/8 inches approximately St. Jacobs Oil appears to be some kind of quack medicine cure all. According to the card it worked for Humans and Animals curing everything from Sprains and Broken bones to Wind Gall (?) to flesh wounds and many others. Due to a smaller population than the USA and the U.K. Canadian Trade cards were printed in lower numbers and are much more scarce than USA and UK cards. The card does have some creasing and a “scratch just unde Victoria’s eyes. I have scanned the card fairly large, open and closed both front and back for you to be able to judge condition for yourself. It would make a fantastic gift or display item for any one interested in Royal and Victorian memorabilia Don’t miss out on this rare over 100 years old piece (as it is over 100 years old it is officially an Antique) . I doubt you will get a chance at another anytime soon. 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, 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 and Circus themes.

If this doesn’t work for you I respectfully ask that you do not bid or buy. Thanks again. This will be mailed from the USA.
