 Tin Foil Tobacco Wrappers Without Revenue Printing.
An extraordinary collection of 247 tin-foil tobacco wrappers housed in six volumes, used without revenue stamps printed on them (Hicks 1-132+++), most were used with adhesive tobacco stamps and many still have those stamps attached, there are many
unusual brands, colors and graphics as well as brands that were also known with imprinted tobacco revenue stamps, they vary in size from small penny chews and free samples up to 8 ounce tobacco and 16 ounce snuff wrappers, some only known copies are
fragmentary but overall the collection is Fine-Very Fine, each item mounted on its own page with a typed description, the most unusual items are paper wrappers printed to look like tin-foil, as well as a beautiful presentation set of printed tin-foil
samples (58 pieces, ex Tolman) prepared by the John J. Crooke Co. in 1882, some cigar, cigarette, snuff and foreign wrappers are included, this is a very unusual collection that would be impossible to duplicate, it shows the history of tobacco
packaging, tin-foil printing and advertising graphics (Image)Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com |
