An incredible recent discovery and a true peice of Canadian history, this card album is accompanied with a story almost as significant as the card's that lie within it's pages. In July of 1914 a young boy, far younger than the legal sign up age for the army, decided that his days of collecting cards were over and that he would be supporting his country in the first world war. Lying about his age, he successfully signed up for the Canadian Army and was sent overseas, leaving this scrapbook behind to his family. The young solider never returned to continue his collecting and this scrapbook remained in one family until today. The book includes an incredible array of tobacco sized cards including 27/36 1910 C56 Hockey cards with Ross, Lalonde and Patrick. Also included are nine cards from the 1911 C55 Hockey set including #38 Georges Vezina, #9 Lake, #17 Darragh, #22 Gilmour, #23 Rowe, #25 Cleghorn, #27B Smaill (Hand on Hip), #39 Dallaire, and #43 Payton. Moving on from hockey, the group includes a significant offering of Lacrosse cards, 41 in total from the 1910 C60 Lacrosse set including Newsy Lalonde and the following card numbers: #3, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 26, 29, 33, 36, 38, 39, 44, 45, 46, 48, 49, 50, 51, 53, 54, 59, 60, 62, 63, 65, 66, 68, 72, 78, 79, 83, 84, 85, 88, 91, 92, 93, 95, 96, 97, 98. The pages also include a wide array of other tobacco cards from the day including 1909-1911 Flags of All Nations (29 Total), 1910 C65 The World's Dreadnoughts (23 total), British Man of War Series of 50 (7), 1910 T58 Fish series (5), various c. 1910 dog and bird series (42), Will's Cigarettes Coat of Arms (32), Tuckett's real photo cards (37), Military uniforms (13), Flying/Aviation (22), 1912 Imperial tobacco prominent men of Canada (18), Boy Scouts (4).
