Here is the 18th different card in my N20 1891 Allen & Ginter Fifty Prize & Game Chickens collection. As mentioned in my last post about this set, I picked up a couple handfuls of these cards from an eBay seller recently. Today's card is the Silver-Grey Dorking Hen, which is one color variation of the Dorking breed.

The picture on the card looks pretty similar to the photograph I found here. According to the internet, the Dorking is named after a town in England. The breed was developed by the Romans and then brought to England, and is apparently the basis for many of the other chicken varieties in existence. I really like adding new N20's to my collection, and I hope to complete the set at some point in the next few years.
I'm pulling for you to complete the set! Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThanks! They are somewhat readily available, but cost is an issue for me.
DeleteI was also looking on Net54's Non-Sport gallery that half of the cards pictures are vertical and the other half are horizontal.
ReplyDeleteI really need to remember to visit the Net54 boards. That's where I got part of my initial collection of these cards and I visited pretty frequently for a few months, but then I got out of the habit.
DeleteOddly enough the last two posts you made in this series, KFC was lunch for me that day.... after not going there for months, and not planning it today but Pizza Hut was sold out of pizza...really!
ReplyDeleteWell, I can't guarantee that pattern will continue. My posting has been sporadic lately. I also have a fair number of these cards left to post, and I'd hate to overwhelm you with KFC.
