Introduced in 1905. Discontinued in 1927. This deck replaced the one-way three-winged design featured on Tri-Tire No. 1. Despite a much longer run, Tri-Tire No. 2 is considerably harder to find than its predecessor. Perhaps the design had run its course and other new Bicycle backs became more popular.
Below is a throw-out card from the Lingermans, a ventriloquist – magician husband and wife team. They evidently offered a very wholesome show. For more information on throw-out cards, please visit throwingcards.blogspot.com.
