1888 A35 Goodwin Dogs Head Cigarettes Round Album Cover

Description

Presented is a single album cover page from the 1889 Goodwin & Co. “Round Album” . This was one of the cover pages for the Goodwwin round album championship set of players.

1888 A35 Goodwin & Co. “Baseball Champions” Premium Round Album. The Goodwin Co. awarded a 12-page lithographed album via a mail-in offer as a premium to smokers of Old Judge and Dog’s Head brands. Today, we call this the “Round Album” for its shape and recognize it as one of the more amazing displays of artist accomplishment of the multitude of 19th Century tobacco offerings. Intact albums are extremely rare but the production of this album was so high quality that the single 8″ circular pages are offered individually and gladly accepted by hobbyists.  We are selling these individually.  Presented is a near complete set.  The only one that was missing was the advertisement round.  The greats of the game include Cap Anson, Charles Comiskey, Mike Kelly and Montgomery Ward on individual pages with Buck Ewing, Tim Keefe, Roger Conner and Mickey Welch sharing space along with finely detailed decorations, all grand style

It is in VG condition and shows some wear on the outside cover. The reverse has an ad for Dogs’ Head cigarettes. Diameter: 8.25 inches.
