Complete set of twenty-five "Flag Girls" from the T7 Turkish Trophies "Hamilton King Girls" tobacco premiums series. The T7 "Hamilton King Girls" are rare and among the most striking nonsport tobacco premiums ever issued. These premiums feature magnificent full-color artistic drawings of pretty women. The set is organized into six separate series, each with a different theme: "Sketches," "Girls," "Bathing Girls," "Period Gowns," "Flag Girls," and "Bathing-Athletic-Dancing Girls." The twenty-five T7 premiums in this group feature all twenty-five subjects from the "Flag Girls" series. Condition ranges from Vg to Ex (averaging Vg-Ex) with four in lesser grades due to tiny areas of paper loss on the otherwise clean reverses. T7s are big cards; due to their large size they tend to be subject to a little more corner wear and creases than smaller cards. This is a very sharp-looking set. Colorful, scarce, and beautifully lithographed, this is a very rarely offered set of these quality nonsport tobacco premiums. Total: 25 premiums. Reserve $200. Estimate $400+.
