    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 :-)

      There are a couple of ladies I recognise, and a couple of maybes, is it possible to make the photo larger.

      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 Alan2310 for your kind comments ;-)
    13. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      Flog it, Dickinson real deal, ehhhhh, I'll certainly be watching, but you'd better let me know, please, lol.
    14. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      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.
    15. SEAN68 SEAN68, 10 years ago
      stunning!!!

    18. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      I don't think they would have been players, more up market.
    19. surfdub66 surfdub66, 10 years ago
      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!
