1916 Fleischmann Bakery (D381)

Tall, black-and-white cards wrapped with bread by New York's Fleischmann Bakery (and, far more rarely, Boston's Ferguson Bakery), both subsidiaries of the General Baking Company. Each card carried a detachable coupon: fifty of them plus fifty cents bought a leather "Kodak Album," and no example of that album is known today. Because most coupons were clipped and redeemed, cards like this one survive "without coupon." The oversized format gives some of the most detailed player portraits of the period, many credited to Underwood & Underwood.
