*********************************************

Set of 6 1910 Humorous Halley's Comet Chocolate Cards.

Stollwerck: 1910.

A set of six cards promoting Stollwerck chocolate, featuring humorous
views of Halley's Comet. Each card has a humorous, if doggerel, German
verse on the back relating to the scene on the front of the card: a happy
comet riding a bike, a happy comet making wine, a shy comet hiding behind
a cloud as an astronomer peers at her throug his telescope, an angry comet
chasing a man and woman, a happy comet raining a star shower on a group of
umbrellaed onlookers, and a happy comet on a bike being chased down the
road by a German soldier, complete with pickelhaube helmet. Quite
wonderful.

Stollwerck, a leading German chocolate manufacturer, was founded in 1839
and was the second largest producer of chocolate on the United States by
1900.

Six cards. 2"x3.5". Minor soil, one card creased. [39881] $100

Sure, of this and more, in the new Bookin'!
