Default A&G Richmond Cigarette Shell

Posted By: Jerry Spillman


This type pack housed the insert cards that were distributed prior to the American Tobacco Company takeover in 1890.

This shell was found inside a wall of a house that was being demolished in Michigan.

The shell has a severe crease on the center front and a split on two edges. The slide is missing. $165 delivered.

The red ink overprint on the tax stamp reads:

FACTORY No.2
OCT 30 188
2d District Virgini
