House
of Craven, Black
Cat Cigarette Cards
Publisher: Carreras
Ltd., Basildon,
Essex
The House of
Craven, were one
of the first cigarette
companies in the
UK to use coupon
gift schemes in
1904 and probably
the last to produce
cigarette cards
in 1976. This set
was almost certainly
the last as it was
withdrawn soon after
issue through pressure
from anti-smoking
lobbyists. Consisting
of 50 cards, it
was accompanied
by a full-colour
collector’s
book. Text and many
of the pictures
for the set were
by Tony Tilford.Because
of its rarity it
is probably very
valuable as a collector’s
item. |
