Description:
Wills Cigarette Picture-Card Album is a vintage collectible album produced by the British tobacco company W. D. H. O. Wills. The album in the image, specifically for the Australia English Cricketers series from 1938, was designed to hold and display a complete set of cigarette cards.
Cigarette Cards These were small, collectible cards inserted into cigarette packs in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a marketing tool. They featured a wide range of subjects, including sports figures, military leaders, and landscapes.
Purpose The albums were sold separately for a small fee, in this case, One Penny, allowing collectors to organize and protect their card sets.
Value The value of such albums and the cards they contain depends on several factors, including the condition of the cards and the album itself, the rarity of the set, and whether the set is complete or incomplete. While specific pricing varies, similar Wills cigarette card albums and sets from the 1930s can be found for various prices on collectors websites and auction sites.
