T7 Turkish Trophies / Hamilton King Girls Overview

t7_hamilton_king_card The T7 Turkish Trophies / Hamilton King Girls set is made up of a total of six subsets. Each subset features girls in a variety of themed cards and various occupations. The cards are slightly oversized and considered by some to be cabinet cards.

The six subsets in the T7 issue include a total of 111 cards. The breakdown of the subsets is as follows:

T7-1: Sketch Series (various sketches) – 12 cards
T7-2: Girls Series (various girls) – 12 cards
T7-3: Beach Girls Series (girls at beaches) – 12 cards
T7-4: Period Gown Series (dresses from different eras) – 25 cards
T7-5: Flag Girls Series (flags of different nations) – 25 cards
T7-6: Sports Girls Series (different sports / other girls) – 25 cards

For sports collectors, the most relevant subsets are the first and last ones, T7-1 and T7-6. Cards in the others are of the non-sports variety for the most part.

T7-1 features girls playing hockey, tennis, and golf. T7-6 has basketball, golf, tennis, rowing, yachting, fencing, polo, and skating. The 25-card T7-6 subset is identical to the S58 Hamilton King Girls silks set.

Of particular note to non-sports collectors is set T7-5, which includes girls with flags from various nations. Later cards in 1908 were created by Wills of this subset, which includes a card of a girl representing the United States of America. The flag subset is dated to 1903.

The cards were created between 1902 and 1913. See here for pictures of all of the T7 subset issues.

The only sports issues are the T7-1 and the T7-6 subsets and those checklists are below. Others are not included because they were solely non-sports subsets. The T7-6 checklist is the same as it is for Hamilton King’s other S58 and L5 issues.
