Description: This RARE card is one in a series of 24 cards issued in Canada by the Patterson Candy Company Limited of Toronto Ontario Canada. One was inserted into each package of their Patterson’s Chocolate. They are listed as V78 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue, they are entitled “FOREIGN BUTTERFLIES ”. Although no guide that I am aware of gives a definite date of issue for this series it is generally assumed to have been in the 1920’s era. The front of each card features a colorful image of the featured species. The back of the card features the Butterflies Name and were it is located, and has a premium offer for an Album to hold the cards in from the Company. The back is in both the French and English Language. This Card is number 12 in the series. The Card measures 3 ¾ inches by 1 1/2 inches approximately. The card does have some edge and corner wear, but is free from major creases. 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. or UK Due to the lower population in Canada than in the USA and UK, print runs in Canada were much smaller compared with American and British Cards. (Because of this the majority of all Canadian non sports cards are far scarcer than cards issued in the USA and UK) 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.
