These are cigarette silks (like the cards but are on printed on silk) ,
Ive had these quite a while now , they were picked up at a boot sale for 50p with other things i a small box!!
Theyre bright & colourful "even the monalisa dont look too grumpy"
Im not sure on date but must be 30s - 50s ish ..
the only others ive seen are as national flags...
hope you like them :-)

These are amazing!!!
There are a couple of ladies I recognise, and a couple of maybes, is it possible to make the photo larger.
Hi
surfdub66
Great collections, i love it.

They are really great, I love their faces. I'm afraid I only recognized the Mona Lisa and Joan of Arc. The young girl in the third photo has such a pretty face.
These are amazing, like Virginia said! Definitely an Antiques Roadshow TV item.

Thank you Virginia.Vintage for your nice comments;-)
thanks peasejean55 for your comments ive uploaded a couple close ups;-)also one is madonna(not the singer)lol the others have names but none i recognise one says a boy ... etc
thank you katherinescollections for your lovely comments ;-) i dont think they're worthy of the road show!! Maybe flog it or Dickinsons real deal !! ;-)
thank you Alan2310 for your kind comments ;-)
Flog it, Dickinson real deal, ehhhhh, I'll certainly be watching, but you'd better let me know, please, lol.
Another question, what type of fags were they with, they must have been pretty upper class. I was to young to remember these. I do remember number 10s and 6 you only got cards with them. Thankfully I'm not a smoker now, but if they started giving these lovely things I might start light up again, lol.
stunning!!!
Peasejean I'm not sure players I think!! I'll check
Thanks for your comments :-) sd
Thanks Sean
& CindB for your love & kind comments :-)
I don't think they would have been players, more up market.
Maybe kensitas !! There were a few firms doing these in the first half of the 1900s in UK & Canada apparently :-) sd
Wow surfdub66, I've never seen anything like these before. I've seen the cards, but not the silks. They're really amazing looking!
