A friend purchased these early tobacco labels of ebay. I have researched each brand name and most are Ogdens. Thought I would share with forum members as some are very colourful. Banquet and Sportsman I have seen before.

 A few more labels. Does anyone have any boxes or containers with these labels on???

It's incredible just how many brands of baccy and snout they made back then. The marketing stratergy seems to have been " Whatever".

Can I have a pound of Old Crony please? LOL

Great post Bacco.

Love these

 Hi hilbert & Arkwights,

Glad you like the labels. Have posted a few more.

Great stuff Bacco, That BANJO looks like a " Smiths " design ?

 Hi Lummox,

Lot of similarities to the Smith's designs. Records show Ogden's and M & C Lomas had registered this brand name. However, I think it is Ogden's. They had many brands which lasted for a very short time. You would have thought it quite costly to promote a new brand and then withdraw it.
