Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction Spring 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/2/2023
The needed accompaniment for any world class turn-of-the-century tobacco card collection, we have a highly desirable Sweet Caporal cigarette pack from the 1910s, with this antique cardboard container most likely containing a tobacco card originally from one of the many issues produced later in the decade including the C18 Infantry Training set. Diminutive at 2” x ¾” x 3” and originally holding 10 cigarettes, the package is designed with a sliding inner sleeve, with “Imperial Tobacco Company” over the reverse, guaranteeing licensed Canadian production. Identical in design to the packs that housed the C55, C56 and C57 hockey sets, a “1915” tax stamp remains intact, with the pack in beautiful displayable condition, with bold colours and expected handling wear.
