Thank you Jon & Mark for the information.
![]() Is there any place to find approximate values on these ? Last edited by renoch01; 09-30-2017 at 09:09 PM. |

Putting values on the carton labels are tough because you have a much more limited audience and they are only companion pieces. For example, I purchased my Tolstoi label identical to yours for about $25-$30 maybe 10 years ago, but I wouldn't think values changed all that much. They are cool, but it's not really something I'd expect to bring big bucks.
FWIW, I understand these originated with a man who worked with the US patent office who passed away many years ago (I don't want to disclose his name). A lot of his collection had the original entry dates on them from when they were registered. None of it walked out the door - he saved the items from the scrap heap after the registration samples were no longer needed or when there were multiples in the files. (PS - Henry - if you're seeing this, is that your understanding as well?)

What a surprise to find a thread full of cig packs on Net54. Thank you Rich for posting your recent pick-up as it is a joy to see.
Can you share what unopened packs date back to the 1870s. Most cigarettes were distributed in paper packs prior to 1886 and few have survived the test of time. Cigarettes were in their infancy in 1870s, would love to see a pack from this time. I like anything pre ATC merger (1890 & earlier), noticed a couple in your bunch that could be from 1880s. Did the collection include anything from Goodwin & Co. (Old Judge, Gypsy Queen, Dogs Head)? Again, thank you for what you've already shared.
