We featured a large number of trolley cards in our books - including these two Victor examples.

"Jeannine" appears on page 194 of Antique Phonograph Gadgets, Gizmos, and Gimmicks. Another trolley sign for the Columbia Grafonola appears on page 152, and a circa 1904/05 Edison trolley sign is shown on page 132.

"Muddy Water" appears on page 207 of A World of Antique Phonographs, and there are 5 others as well shown two to a page - - all Victor Records from the "Orthophonic Era." All quite beautiful.

Three more Victor trolley cards from the same era can be found on pages 167-168 of Phonographica.

Trolley cards for the Aeolian-Vocalion and the Alethetone are shown on pages 180-181 of Antique Phonograph Advertising. Two more Victor trolley cars from the late teens are shown on page 132, and nicely stylized example from the same era is on page 192. Two Sonora trolley cards are featured on pages 194-195.

There may be others...

Sorry I goofed when I misread the dates! And now when I give a closer look, I can clearly see the mat surrounds. With the lowE glass, you've got it all covered. No offense!
