T80 Military Series

The T80 Military Series is a set of 50 cards issued around 1910-11. Tobacco brands represented on the back are Cairo Monopol, Lenox, Old Mill, Tolstoi and Uzit. The cards themselves are very similar to T205 baseball cards, with gold borders.

Countries represented in the set are the United States (21 cards), Austria (2), China (1), England (7), France (5), Germany (2), Italy (3), Japan (1), Russia (4), Switzerland (1) and Turkey (3). Two United States cards (Lieutenant General U.S. and Trumpeter of Cavalry U.S.) are available with both blue and khaki uniforms.

Here are scans of the 38 cards that I have, along with 3 of the backs:

    Nice cards. Are you going to try to finish off the set?

    Great cards - for some reason, I don't collect military cards, but those are beauties.
