Lot 318:
Four Albums of Vintage British Cigarette Cards, including Player's and Wills's Series
Description
A collection of vintage British cigarette cards compiled in four albums. The cards, made of printed paper or cardstock, are meticulously preserved within clear plastic protector sheets housed in three-ring binders with faux-leather covers. Two distinct series are evident: one features heraldic badges and flags of British regiments, with legible text such as “PLAYER’S CIGARETTES” and specific regimental names including “1st Life Guards” and “Royal Horse Guards”; the other series displays colorful illustrations of historical or mythological scenes, consistently marked “WILLS’S CIGARETTES”. Dating likely to the early 20th century.
