Does anyone have an unopened pack of one of these or a picture of how they were sold?

I do not have a picture, but they were issued wrapped around the tobacco product with paper bands wrapped around the outside. You sometimes see blankets with remnants of the paper still adhered.

I can not get to my copy of Lew Lipset's encyclopedia but I think his volume on tobacco products has a photo of an original blanket and how it was folded and wrapped.
Also, if you do a Google search, you might find photos of a find some years back of a number of blankets that were still folded and wrapped.

I just looked in the Archive section and there is a post from 2012 that has some info about the blankets and also some sites that have pictures of unwrapped blankets.
