Bender, Pitcher, Philadelphia American League, from the Baseball Gum series (E92), issued by Croft and Allen Co. to promote Croft's Candy
Trade cards from the "Baseball Gum" series (E92), issued 1909. The series is often divided by collectors into subsets based on four different company issues. The card rectos are the same in each subset, but the series displays four different verso designs: John H. Dockman & Son; Nadja Caramel; Croft's Cocoa; and Croft's Candy. This card is from the Croft's Candy subset.
