EDITORS COMMENTS
"Step back in time with this vintage print of a promotional display for Weights Cigarettes, dating back to the late 1920s. The blue background and cream border provide an elegant backdrop for three packs of cigarettes placed at the center. The text boldly announces 'Players' Weights - THE NEW 20s PACKING, ' enticing customers with their affordable prices: '5 FOR 2D, 20 FOR 8D, 10 FOR 4D. ' Turn the card around and discover a handwritten note that reveals its historical significance - it was dated by hand as both "1928" and "1929". This unique detail adds to the charm and authenticity of this piece. A support on the reverse allows the card to stand upright, making it perfect for displaying on any shelf or mantelpiece. The label attached reads 'MARDONS // WINDOW NOVELTIES // EMBOSSED SHOWCARDS / &C, &C // VARNISHERS // GELATINERS & FRAME MAKERS // BRISTOL & LONDON, ' shedding light on Mardons' involvement in creating eye-catching advertising materials during that era. This print captures not only a moment in history but also reflects Nottingham's rich heritage in tobacco production through John Player and Sons. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of an era when smoking was widely accepted and promoted through creative marketing strategies
