Liebig Extract of Meat Co , Humorous Sports (S1232), 1929 (6cards)
Sport has always been very popular among many card collectors. Liebig issued a set of Humorous Sports, 1929. After seeing one of the cards depicting a motor car driver wielding a decapitated head (probably not real LOL ) mounted on a spike, you maybe forgiven in thinking that people in the 1920s had a twisted sense of humour. However, when you observe the remaining cards of Northern Africans hopping like kangaroos in hessian sacks, men dressed in just underwear jumping through dangling oak barrels and sailors racing wheel barrows I’m sure that you’d agree that we still share a lot in common with our forefathers’ desire for amusement.
