Nottinghamshire C.C.C. 1904 & 1905. Two original commemorative silk scorecards for Nottinghamshire matches played at Trent Bridge. One, for the match v. Yorkshire played 9th- 11th June 1904, was notable for three centuries from Arthur Jones (113) and John Dixon (135) of Nottinghamshire, John Tunnicliffe making 119 for Yorkshire. Originally from the collection of A.O. Jones, captain of Nottinghamshire in this match. The other is for the match v Middlesex 17th- 19th August 1905 in which Jones scored 123 and George Gunn 110, with Gunn returning his career best bowling figures of 5/50 in the second innings. Assumed to be from the collection of Arthur Jones. Both printed by Charles H. Richards of Nottingham. The scorecards both laid down by the top and bottom edges to black album pages. Slight adhesive show-through, otherwise in very good condition.
