1916 C93 Imperial Movie Star Tobacco Cards

From the Imperial Tobacco Company out of Canada each of the fifty cards in this set measures approximately 1-1/2″ X 2-5/8″. Blazing colors on front with a text description filling the back, number 21277 in the bottom border on reverse side of each card.

Troy Kirk’s site dates these to 1916; a copy of Murray’s from a few years ago dates 1925; Jefferson Burdick’s American Card Catalog doesn’t give a date but does identify them with the C93 ACC designation, the “C” standing for Canadian Tobacco Cards, the number including it in a section of cards which did not identify its maker, as these don’t. Burdick also notes that the C93s are the same stars and poses as used in the American T82 set which according to Forbes & Mitchell’s American Tobacco Cards were issued between 1915-1920. The American cards, that is the T82s, came with advertising on back for Athletic, Coupon, or Recruit brand cigarettes.

All 50 cards, both front and back, are shown in the following gallery ordered alphabetically by last name (same order as the checklist beneath the gallery).

At the time of the creation of this page I am/was offering the individual cards at auction on eBay.
