Sure looks like a BF104. I picked up a few earlier this year. All mine are orange/white or green/yellow - hadn't seen the blue/orange before. Anyone know anything about this issue? Or why all the blankets are BFxx except the B18s?

It looks like one to me too. The colors are new to me as well. So is the fact that it's a portrait. I've never seen a BF104 portrait before.

Yes, that is a Bf104...and to answer the other question...B-cards were classified as Felt premiums (usually packaged with the cigarettes) where BF-cards were felt novelties, either sold seperately or with small novelty items.

The Frisch is a portrait too. Joshua, thanks for the info. Of course, they don't know how the felts were issued, so hard to determine if they should be B104's or BF104's.

When I bought the Cochrane 7 or 8 years ago, I thought it was a BF104 but had never seen one and Cochrane was not cataloged in the big SCD. Thanks for the help with the identification and also for letting me see other BF104's and their different colors.
