Between 1875 and the 1940s, cigarette companies often included collectible cards with their packages of cigarettes. Cigarette card sets document popular culture from the turn of the century, often depicting the period’s actresses, costumes, and sports, as well as offering insights into mainstream humour and cultural norms.

Cigarette and trading cards from the early 1900’s – all our sets are featuring ships or a maritime theme. Not necessarily for the tobacco card collector, but for the nautical enthusiast. They can be shown in an album, or displayed on the wall in a frame, we can help with that if you wanted them mounted. Great in a bar setting, under glass as a counter display. Make a nice coffee table display under glass, would suit any maritime themed room of Bach. The possibilities are endless and they feature some excellent period graphics of ships and maritime items. Let your creative side out and create something different and enjoy these great pictures every day in your home.
