The standard deck of Russell's
Rustlers "Base Ball Boys" playing cards
was made by Willis W. Russell Card Co.,
in Milltown, New Jersey. The cards have
a 1906 copyright and most likely date
to the 1906-1910 era but all the Sample
advertising cards have a local Major
League team schedule from 1910.
The Sample Schedule Card features an
advertising at the top that reads:
"Russell's Famous Playing Cards "Base
Ball Boys... Sample of No. 136 Rustlers
--6 Poses-- $3.00 per doz. delivered
cash with order. 25 cents a pack at
stores. Willis W. Russell Card Co.
Milltown, Middlesex Co., New Jersey."
At the bottom of the 1910 Cleveland
Naps Schedule (pictured above) is an
advertising slogan for the Cleveland
Newspaper, the Plain Dealer. The
Sample Cards were most likely
distributed through the local Newspaper
of that city. There is
also a 1910 Washington Senators
schedule with a slogan for the
Washington Herald at the bottom.
The Sepia tone red or blue, Rustlers
"Base Ball Boys" playing cards feature
6 different studio player poses. The
Joker card is in black & white and has
a player in a fielding position that
reads: "At The Plate" 4 of
the six poses are pictured on this page
include: Player catching (above), and
below player fielding, player covering
Base, and Player Pitching. Other
advertising sample schedule cards, and
the two missing player poses will be
added when they become available.
