Lot # 780: 1912 T215 Pirate Cigarettes Tobacco Pack Collection (4)

Collection of four original boxes of Pirate Cigarettes produced by W. D. & H. O. Wills. The reverse of all Pirate Cigarette cards (baseball and nonsport issues) features the images of a Pirate Cigarettes box in some fashion. The front of the boxes features a single pirate in full-length pose onboard a ship, while the back has two scenes framing an advertisement for Pirate Cigarettes. These examples retain all of their original colors and crisp imagery. They have been beautifully preserved over the years, presenting as mostly clean with light tobacco staining and handling wear. We can't state with any certainty that these boxes ever contained a baseball card, simply because Pirate Cigarettes baseball cards are incredibly rare, and the company also issued nonsport insert cards. Regardless, they are very desirable boxes that are of the same style as those pictured on the reverse of the baseball cards. This is an outstanding collection of Pirate Cigarettes boxes. Total: 4 boxes. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
