Item Description
7/8". No back paper but known to be produced by W&H. c. 1896-1898. Front is designed as a target in gold with solid black text that reads "M.W. & Co. Hand Load." Various gun powder companies would sell components to Montgomery Ward who would then assemble (hand load) them and sell them under their trade name. Some light surface scratches seen in reflected light amounting to moderate wear. Still Exc. Only the second example we've seen. Probably the first use of a gold foil paper on a pin-back.
