Turkish Trophies Box

[Vintagecatcher]

Anyone ever seen this Turkish Trophy box before. Had a 1910 tax stamp on the box. Maybe held a T204 TTT?

Different company. Ramly's and T.T.T's are in Mentor Co. boxes. The Turkish Trophy was from the same company that played off Ramly by using their name as Ramleh and after being sued by Timayenis changed the cigarette name to Helmar.

Thanks Scott!

Wonder what issue is described on the box, "Insist on getting a Photo Print of famous Base ball Players with this package."

The only item I can think of that might be considered a "photo print"
would be perhaps this issue below.

It is likely referring to T3 Turkey Red cards (which were available with other brands via mail in and possibly point of sale redemptions, we just call them Turkey Red because of the ad backed varieties that have been found but they were not exclusive to that brand.) The Turkish Trophies brand is advertised on the Non-sports version of the T3’s featuring the “Hamilton King girls” (T7’s). They also were one of the main brands associated with S81 silks and L1 leathers.

They have sold some adverting pieces that showed the 3 issues together in an attractive display over the years.

was very similar - believe this may be Wonka's.... It's a top drawer kind of item and pricey. I sold mine because at the time I couldn't afford to keep it. Regret it a little now, While a small number exist I believe that many may be marriages - with replacement of a silk or leather topic by a more desirable one - original but not originally in the piece...Probably not much wrong with that as initially the subjects were arbitrary - but like everything - if you know you that to be the case you should disclose...
