Hand-tinted Sarony and White Photo Cards - ca. 1915

These pieces seemingly belong to a series of nicely hand-tinted, oddly sized (4.625" x 6.5") photo cards featuring portraits by Sarony and White, ca. 1915. I do not have all too much information about them but I suspect they were produced by Kraus Mfg. Co. N.Y. as they're clearly quite similar to, and featuring the same portraits as several of their abundantly popular postcards. From Mary Pickford's Estate.

Real Photo Theatre Handout - Portrait by Moody - ca. 1916

 3 3/4" x  7 7/8" Real photo theatre handout featuring a portrait by Moody. Famous Players. ca. 1916. Unfortunately, not much information on this one though it seems to be a fairly unique piece.

Mary Pickford Tobacco / Cigarette / Chocolate / Theatre / Trading Cards

Many moons ago, one could acquire these small cards (tobacco cards, cigarette cards, chocolate cards, theatre cards, trading cards, etc.,) not more than a few inches in size, in a pack of cigarettes, from a machine at the arcade, as a hand out at the local theatre, or via some other means. Some were printed while a good many are actual photographs.

Issued in 1913, this Major Drapkin & Co. Cinematograph Actors series card shows Mary during her IMP days and is reportedly the first tobacco card she appears on (or at least, one of, as this particular series had two unnumbered Pickford cards, the other being a photo by Marceau and marked Biograph.)
