Hi Lummox,

I like the showcard. Have not come across that brand of tobacco before. It was still available in the 1940 edition of Tabacco, which is the only reference I can find for that particular brand.

Thanx Fella's.....yep on the wall for a while Al, but as you've asked first if it goes I'll give you first shout. Stalling at a local fair with all my other tat ( coins, masonic etc ). Had a good look round before opening and as usual did'nt see or buy a thing.

About 10.30  !!!! yep genuinely 2 hours into the fair I'm talking to one of my regulars whose standing off at an angle. 10 yards behind her ONLY 2 stalls down on the other row I see this lovely image. Got to be a repro ? has'nt it !!!!

Anyway I excuse myself for a minute and saunter over to have a look and be disappointed..... ONLY thing is.... S**T its real and mine for a song ! well half a song actually.  Even better on the front of his stall is the fry's and the swan vestas posted in advertising so I decided I could probably afford those as well.

After that all i wanted to do was get home and gaze at my lady and her Sunflowers but I had to stay at the fair and even managed to sell some tat !!
