Description: This scarce card is one in a series of 100 cards issued in Canada by PARKHURST PRODUCTS Limited of 11 Wabash Ave Toronto Ontario. The series is listed on Burdicks American Card Catalogue as series V339-2, and is entitled “Audubon Society Birds” No guide that I am aware of provide a specific date of issue however have seen the wrapper/box that these card were distributed in and it is of similar construction to that of the 1951-52 and 1952-53 Parkhurst Hockey Series’ (Thank you Bobby Burrell for bringing this to my attention). The front features a wonderful image of the featured species of bird. The back gives a brief description of the species, as well as explaining how to acquire an album to hold the cards (if anyone had this album please email me as I would love to see what it looks like). The back also states “Paintings and descriptions courtesy Audubon Society of Canada as published in Canadian Nature Magazine” This card is #58 in the series and features a HOLBOELL'S GREBE. The Card measures 2 inches by 2 1/2 inches approximately. The card is free from major creases, with relatively nice corners. I have scanned the front and back of the card fairly large so you can determine the condition for yourself. THESE CARDS WERE NEVER ISSUED IN THE U.S.A Due to the lower population in Canada than in the US, print runs in Canada were much smaller compared with American Cards. (Because of this the majority of all Canadian non sports cards are far scarcer than card issued in the USA. )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, Cigarettes , 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, Dog Breeds, Circus themes and many more.
