SERIES: Miscellany - Unnumbered (aka: General Subjects, General Interest, Artistic, etc.)

This is one of 100 miscellaneous unnumbered cards advertising the "Ariosa" brand of coffee that Arbuckles' issued in the late 1880s. This one features a couple of nattily attired naval officers (swords and all) enjoying a smoke by the deck rail of their ship.

The back carries Arbuckles' familiar "4 Points" sales pitch.

SIZE: 5" x 3"

DATE: Undated (but probably 1888 or 1889)

LITHOGRAPHER: Geo. S. Harris & Sons

CONDITION: Fine, I'd say. This card is is just slightly dirty along the left edge (mostly noticeable at the upper left corner) with only slightly worn edges and corners. There are no creases or tears. (Please see scans.)

MULTIPLE ITEM SHIPPING DISCOUNT: I will ship up to 4 cards for the single base shipping charge shown. For purchases of more than 4 cards, the shipping charge will increase by just a small increment for every 4 additional cards.
