Published in South Africa pre World War II. Large format hardback album containing 100 Cigarette Cards issued by arrangement with the United Tobacco Cos. (South) Ltd, Westminster Tobacco Co (C.T.&L.) Ltd and Policansky Brothers Limited for the Benefit of Smokers of their products. Covers are unfortunately very "chewed", but contents good, though some loosening/splitting to spine. Descriptions in English and Africaans covering all aspects of South Africa's Defence, from the Artillery to Aviationto Navy, plus the auxillary services. A very readable brief history - in our mobile 'phone culture it's fascinating to read the comments of the day regarding field wireless and telephone! A must not only for collectors of cigarette cards, but also for Military Historians....
Price: £18.50
