I like buying weird vintage items whenever I can. An original tobacco coupon from 1888 certainly qualifies. An original Allen & Ginter coupon, taking into account my love of A&G and how it got me into collecting in 2010, is the perfect item.
I simply could not pass up this fantastic and oddball addition to my 1800s Allen & Ginter Collection. I especially could not pass it up for less than half a blaster.
The artwork is great, the color has withstood the test of time, and the "Washington Album" it applies to -- which you can see below -- is just super cool.
