Mikasa  Cigarette Packet  with WWI Warship Graphic

The Imperial Japanese Flagship Mikasa was built by Vickers in Britain in
1899 - 1901  .
I  would think that this packet is  from some time after that  .
The Japanese Tobacco Monopoly was formed in 1904 . 
I am unsure if this packet was from around that time or perhaps from the period of WW1 , or the early 1920's

 

 Early Australian Kookaburra Cigarette Paper Tubes 

 "Anti-Nicotine "

" Health Preserving Properties"

 

 

This one is from the British-Australasian Tobacco Co . Sydney
I would think circa 1910- 1920 

" Smokers will appreciate it's Richness and abscence from parching or burning the tongue "

Hi Relics,

That "Mikasa" cigarette pkt is superb. Never come across one before. Also, like your "Yankee Doodle" box and I think someone posted a showcard last year. Can't find it though.

Thanks Bacco

These were in there as well
Not advertising, but nice " go withs "

Bakelite cigarette dispensers
circa 1930

When the Kookaburra tilts forward, a drawyer ( containing cigarettes ) opens at the bottom
The Kookaburra picks up a cigarette in it's beak and springs back to the upright position.
These were not too hard to find about 20 years ago , but are not seen that readily these days
