Hiya Kenneth,
On your web page, you have an English Silk card, from a tobacco set, and you have a link that asked if anyone knew the date of the set, to email you. So I do.
The set was produced in 1915, and are worth US$10 each Silk.
Take Care,
Nikki
The text on the back reads:
"Series of English Flowers
No. 3
FUCHSIA
