Vertical advertisement, approximately 2.75 x 6 inches, for Boston Garter.

In 1912, the company inserted baseball cards one per box of twelve Boston Garter sock garters. Each large and brightly lithographed card showed a player in the locker room, sometimes in his underwear, showing off his sock garters. A large open window portrayed a game in progress in the background of the illustration. Boston Garter baseball cards are very rare and highly sought after.
