This item isn't part of my collecting focus, but I saw it at an antique shop over the holidays and I couldn't leave without it.

while I have seen 3/4 original Bull Durham cases over 20 years - there are quite a few (many) reproductions out there - they usually show uneven signs of aging and distress for effect - and the image having been taken from an original - looking at the shading in color present in the upper "tab" it's pretty easy to see where the discoloration doesn't match the expected wear from a 100 year old case.

I've noticed the bull durham repro boxes more frequently at flea markets over the past year. I never saw any boxes in 10 years and all of a sudden I've seen a bunch.

Upon closer inspection, you are absolutely right in that it's a reproduction. All of the spots where there are apparent creases, paper loss, or staining are printed on the surface of the box as copied from an image of an authentic specimen.

It does make for a nice display piece though and I only spent $20 for it, so it's not all bad...

Hey 1880nonsports, or anyone......

I've always wondered why no Sports or Non-Sports cards were ever issued with the Chesterfield brand ?

Liggett & Myers introduced this brand in 1912, packaging these cigarettes in the standard pack. What did they use for cigarette pack stiffiners (if not cards) ?
