It's an original. It was issued by Topical Times in 1924.
One of a set of 6 metallic cards, the full set is:
Arsenal F.C.
Celtic F.C.
Everton F.C.
Rangers F.C.
Sheffield Wednesday F.C.
West Bromwich Albion F.C. |

Thanks for that. I don't think it can be as early as 1924 though. Willie Cook for example was only at Celtic 1930-32, so that narrows the date right down. |

but Peter Scarff signed for Celtic in 1928. died in 1933 |

Just did a bit of digging....
It's almost certainly a picture of Celtic's 1931 Scottish Cup winning side. The clue is in the picture in the shape of the Scottish Cup! The line-up on the back is the line-up from the final v Motherwell. And 1930-31 was the only season where Willie Cook and John Thompson were both at Celtic.
It could theoretically have been used by Topical Times a year or two later, but I'm sticking it down as 1931! |

And my last post on this, probably. 5 of these 6 won major honours in 1931...
Arsenal F.C. 1931 League champions
Celtic F.C. 1931 Cup winners
Everton F.C. 1931 Second division champions
Rangers F.C. 1931 League champions
West Bromwich Albion F.C. 1931 FA Cup winners
Sheffield Wednesday F.C. included as 1930 League Champions? |

Great research I'll take 1931 rather than Murrays 1924.
I'll update my database straight away.
Thanks |

I had this set about 15 years back, and did an exchange with Stuart Marshall in Glasgow for some Junior items I required. |
