1911 Wills Scissors (43) and Star In Circle (88) Boxing Set and Partial Sets
In 1911, British cigarette maker W.D. and H.O. Wills created this set of 36 unnumbered cards with two different backs. The issue is very similar to American N and T lithographic cards which is likely intentional since the cards were inserts in export packaging. This lot includes a complete set of the Star in Circle (green) backs with 52 extra and a near set of the Scissors (30 different) with 13 extras. Highlights include Jack Johnson, Jim Jeffries (4), Joe Jeannette (3), Peter Jackson, Joe Gans, Sam Langford (5), and a number of other HOFers. Condition ranges from poor to excellent. A great opportunity to piece together 2 or three additional sets with relatively little work.
