Hi-
I could not tell from the scan which cigarette company appears at the bottom of your first scan but you might want to click on the Net 54 Nonsports forum (icon is in the top right corner of this page). There is an excellent gallery of nonsports cards there and you can post a thread to their main board for further identification. One of the frequent posters on that board is Bob Forbes who is an expert on tobacco silks, leathers, etc.
Yours in collecting,

The Indian pictured in the bottom of the scan is 'Always Riding'. Most silks sell for about $5 - 10 in that set.

It's Tokio Cigarettes. Packaging is similar to that of a Mecca or Hassan pack. The colors of the pack are red and yellow.

Thank you for the information! I picked them up several years ago, but did not know much about them. I wanted information on them as I am working on cleaning out all of the ecsess out of my collection.
