This is a cigarette card from the Football Clubs & Colours series (featuring football clubs and team colors) created by Leon Marcus of the UK and distributed by Kinnear in 1898. This card features Oxford University. This series showcased famous players and uniforms of teams participating in the English Football League at the end of the 19th century. The stamp on the back of the card reads "Kinnear Limited," indicating that Kinnear was the tobacco distributor. Around 1895, Leon Marcus included cigarette cards on several themes with their tobacco products, but soon sold the business to Kinnear. Cigarette cards designed by Leon Marcus that were released after this point had the Kinnear Limited stamp on the back. Cards from this series without the stamp, which are believed to have been distributed around 1896, are considered among the earliest football cigarette cards in the UK. This card is in rather poor condition, mainly due to wear on the back, but it is an extremely rare card. It will be shipped in a magnetic card holder. Thank you.
