Description
This is definitely not a run of the mill trade card. This card is mechanical in that it has moving parts. The hat moves to either side to reveal 2 different faces, or rather 2 different versions of the same face. The card is entitled "Before & After the Races." So the faces reflect that. Apparently he didn't do well at the races! The card is blank where the advertising copy would go. The background is gold. The card measures 4.25" x 2.75" It is in very good condition with no bends or tears. The back shows evidence of having been glued in an album with glue dots. Really great card to add to a collection!
