Description
According to the product description on the inside, these cigarettes are "made specially to prevent sore throats" there's no mention of preventing other more serious smoking related illnesses. The tin would have held 50 Craven "A" cork tipped, Virginia cigarettes. We are uncertain of an exact date but guessing probably around the 1950's but it could be earlier. Although no longer widely accepted, this item is part of social history when almost everyone smoked. Considering it's age this item is in very good condition. There is no fading, rust or dents and only a few superficial scratches and some slight surface damage which adds to that genuine vintage look. Some of the gilding from the edge of the lid is rubbed due to wear. The hinges remain strong and in working condition. On the reverse side of the lid there is a product description extolling the positive virtues of smoking this particular brand. A nice item for a collector of vintage tins or smoking ephemera, as an item for a themed room or display or even as a prop in a production.
