"Aeroplanes": Complete Set of Forty-eight Gallaher Ltd. Tobacco
Cards from 1939, in Archival Binder Sleeves. A set of
double-sided cards, issued right on the cusp of World War II, with
particularly nice graphic images of these British planes, titled on
the front and, 1.5" x 2.5" in size. Aircraft included: Spitfire,
Hurricane, Blenheim, Wellington. De Havilland Flamingo, Mew Gull,
Hampden, Tipsy, Mayo Composite, Autogiro, Electra Passenger, and
Gloster Gladiator. Gallaher, Ltd. is a tobacco business founded in
1857 by Tom Gallaher in Derry, Ireland. By 1896, Gallaher had
opened the largest tobacco factory in the world in Belfast, and the
business was incorporated in Belfast and London to "carry on in all
their branches the businesses of tobacco, cigar, cigarettes, and
snuff manufacture." In 1916, the company began inserting printed
advertising cards into the cigarette packages, a practice that
continued for decades. Very fine.
