1860 Kesho-Mawashi 0 Set

This is the earliest set of menko I have ever seen.  These menko came in woodblock printed sheets and children would have to cut them out. There is no rank or shikona information except that I have seen some with the Yokozuna tsuna on them.  Extremely hard to find in any condition, these are some great works of art!
