Manufactured by A.Baker & Co Ltd. Holloway Road , London N7, this brand "King Lear" was introduced in 1902. The factory closed down middle 1921. The firm amalgamated with Finlay & Co,& W B Newman & Co. The other brands manufactured by this firm includes "Nutts", "Blue Stocking", "Houris" etc etc. Cigarette cards from this company can command very high prices. Does anyone have any tins/pkts from this company to share. I am certain AL has the "Blue Stocking" tin!!!!!
