These cards showing pictures of a wide variety of popular family pets and other animals and birds were issued with Cavanders Cigarettes in 1924.
Each card has a portrait of the animal or bird on the front and a brief description on the back together with hints on how to care for them. The set features the popular pets of the day.
The cards also tell you how much you would expect to pay for a pet, a Fox Terrier cost £5, a goat £4, a peacock £3 and goldfish 6d each (2.5p).
It is interesting to read the descriptions and see the range of animals etc included. I would imagine that goats, squirrels and peacocks are not very common pets today.
They are a complete set of 25 original cards.
The cards are all original and approx 6.7 x 3.5cm in size.
Some wear commensurate with age but overall the set is in good condition.
Please note. I do my best to accurately photograph and describe the condition of the items for sale, including any minor defects but all pieces are vintage and have had previous lives and so may have minor flaws.
