Had this cigar box for ages...does anyone have any information on which company sold this brand of cigars or was it just a small independent retailer in Barnsley?

cheers,

Mike

.

cheers Keith,I don`t know anything about it either...

 It's a Ripper advertising item .. 
JethroTull .. Haven't you posted similar early Cricket images on Showcards, signs etc ?

May have done Chris-have a few cricket/sporting showcards.

 Hi Mike,

Have not been able to find anything on your Cigar box. However, I have the sme Player's Please showcard which is now in bacco auction next April 1st & 2nd. Picture shown.

bacco

cheers Bacco (wouldn`t mind an original 18th century curved bat like the one in the Player`s showcard..mega bucks for a real one)).

 Hi, Mike , Great cricket stuff,  I noticed from way back you posted a 

Colmans Mustard advertising showing Aston Villa  title winning team 

do you still have it ?.

Are you a TULL fan like me ( must have seen them 20 times since 1970 )

Once again you have some fantastic stuff.

Cheers Keith.

Hi Keith-yes still got the 1897 Aston Villa showcard...as I am "Living in the Past" most of the time,,jethrotull seemed a decent user name (I am a fan of them as well as Fairport Convention,Dylan,Leonard Cohen etc.

cheers.

 Nice stuff there .. The Cricket polish String Tin looks to be in great shape . I bought one years ago and have not been able to upgrade it . One of my favourites  . Thanks for showing Mike .

 Great showcard Mike..

cheers Spence..

 Hi, Thanks for posting pic of Colmans Villa  1897.

What are the sizes ? and is it something you would part with?.

If so give me a call on 01384 850527.

Cheers.

Keith

PS,  Like your choice of music.   If you havent heard of them already

try bringing up " The Levellers" on youtube .   Simillar style to the ones 

you like but slightly more modern, started 1990,  "boatman" would be a

good one to start with.

Anyway hope to hear from you

Cheers Keith

Hi Keith. The showcard measures approx. 13"x11"-not really looking to sell at the moment but everything will be for the off at some time.cheers.
