    YOU ARE PURCHASING:   A #10 Red Bird Chippeway Chief Card
    issued by Hamilton Chewing Gum believed to be in 1933.  These cards were put out in Canada in the 1930's.  Research has been hard to find but has indicated that these cards are identical to the Canadian Chewing Gum Co. set identified as V254.  The second set is the TeePee Gum V416 series and the third set, the Anonymous set where both manufactured by the Hamilton Chewing Gum Co. and have a description of the Chief on the back of the card in both French and English.
    The front of these cards is a picture of a famous Chief (taken from the paintings housed in the USA's Library of Congress).  The backs of these cards have a great description of the Band and the Chief being honoured.  This is much nicer than other sets from the same era that also used the same pictures but had no descriptions such as the Allen & Ginter Tobacco, American Caramel, and Weber Bread series issued in the USA.
    This card is also much rarer!  It's set was never issued in the USA, and the Canadian cards had much smaller print runs as the population was much less, making them even harder to find.
    This card is in acceptable shape for it's age and may have rounded corners, creasing, staining and discolouration.  These cards are extremely hard to find in any shape!!  I am not a card grader, and have tried to take good pictures, so for condition please see the ad pictures and evaluate for yourself.
