TRADES

TRADE CARDS

These are chinchilla cards from sets or full sets of cigarette cards

The chinchilla's human mum occasionally collects trade/cig/bond/Liebig cards (called Cartophily)
and it gives them a big buzz when mum buys sets with chinchillas on! (even she gets a buzz)
more of the cards will be added when chin mum finds some!

Gallaher 1921
From the set (100 in set) 'Animals and birds of commercial value' dated 1921 - the actual full set can cost you around £50 and the cheeky chinchillas have the whole set!	This is a card stamp not premium cards, although from cig cards. It's No.60 in the collection range and belongs in a special album for them, one set that is rather difficult to get hold of these days! - year 1970's

This CHINCHILLA silk was issued in Canada by the Imperial Tobacco Co. of Canada Ltd. in 1915 to advertise their cigarettes. It is number 26 from a set of 55 silks entitled "Animal with Flag". The size of the silk is approx. 2" x 3.25" inches.

The Skipper V.P Flips - No.22
This card the chinchillas have no idea where it came from! They think it may be from a small collection. There is 'Ha Ha Howler' jokes on the back so it may of originated from a children's set in the early 1950's. The front says:
'CHINCHILLA - Tiny squirrel from the Andes'
