Help! Oddball Golf Unknown (10/15 New addition)

LarkinCollector

I know there are some who love to hunt down unusual issues, including myself, but I haven't been able to track anything down on these....

1. The Green Golfing Family - reminiscent of some 1920s Carreras issues (Happy Family & Nose Game), but I can't find any info - backs are a solid orange with no print. Just a shade shorter than a standard trading card and 1/4-3/16" less wide.


2. Crow and Golfer - I've received these in oddball lots in the past and just picked up a couple variations I hadn't seen before. The most recent seller thought there were from China sometime in the 1990s, but didn't have anything to back that up or how they might have been issued. Two different sizes, the 3 Jovial Golfers is standard tobacco size for reference. Backs have a pattern of red dots/splotches on a white background with no other print.

I found this on worthpoint They seemed to think the age of the cards were 20's-60's but weren't sure.

Thanks, that gives me some different directions to look! I wish I was collecting these when that auction happened, that Caddie Bob is a really tough one to come by.

Here's another I can't find any info on. Standard tobacco size, think it's from Denmark based on the little bit I was able to translate....

I may have a wrestling card from that series. I will look and try to date it for you.

Awesome, thanks! It came in a random lot from the UK and the seller didn't have any info on it.

Another batch of stuff from the UK, another unknown. Coffee creamer lids, 30 in the complete set from Switzerland. I actually found a site dedicated to the different creamer lids series that have been issued (birds, etc.), but they didn't include this golf set. The others are from 1989-1992, so I'm guessing these are of that era as well...

A couple of the images look familiar, but I haven't been able to identify the source of them.

I don't know anything about those lids but they're freaking cool!

That was my thought as soon as I saw them
