 Allen & Ginter from Richmond, Virginia,  were the first to sell American manufactured cigarettes in Britain in the late 1890s. They were based at 55, Holborn Viaduct, London E.C. "Our Little Beauties", "Richmond Gems", "Richmond Straight Cut", "The Perfection" are just a few of their brands. It seems that Willatt & Grover of Nottingham did some of the companies printing.

 Hi, Many Thanks Bacco  and hillbert, you put my mind at rest that it is a good un,

Do you think it  would have been framed ? as theres no  stand and no hanging up holes.

it  has not been cut down so it was,nt a lid or anything.

Many Thanks.

Keith
