I couldn't resist this, Mr 'Magnum' himself puffing away on a State Express ciggy. I had no idea he promoted them, in fact I can't seem to find anything on Goggle which links him to this brand - or tobacco in any way. Obviously it's a local piece and although it's difficult to show, the cigarette he's holding is definitely re-touched. These were used as wall hangers in bars and cafes to promote the brand with the detail shot showing the slot where the calendar would be attached. In pressed steel, it's in reasonably good condition, the colours are still vibrant, with only one or two age spots on the edges. Nevertheless, it's a great piece and hope you like it.
@Brunswick. Thanks for the feedback and you're right, there's a lot of mentions of Tom Selleck and cigarettes. Just wanted to clarify that I was looking for State Express 555 which I didn't make clear in my post. Your feedback is much appreciated, thanks. :)
