The company came to my
notice when I discovered this comic card, posted in
September 1908. It had the distinctive message (below) used
by the printers Delittle, Fenwick &
Co. Ltd, with the logo N P C C L instead
of the more common Decfo logo. The relevance is that this
back was used by many Spurgin cards between about 1907 and
1910 - see page

The above
postcards all have the same basic Defco back
with no explicit publisher identity. The first
is a genuine novelty card - as it can be used to
strike Vesta matches. While it is clearly
a novelty card connected to Defco it may not be
connected with this company.. The other two
comic cards both carry the information "British
series, Liverpool" and are aimed at the
same market at about the same date as the comic
card at the top of the page, and it seems likely
they were also produced by the company. |
