Offered is a silk pillowcase which features the likenesses of four famous generals and one very famous colonel. Measured at 22x22.5", the pillowcase exhibits great color, in shades that have retained their luster over the years. The pillowcase was offered as a premium by Helmar Cigarettes. To obtain the premium required 100 coupons. A similar premium offered by Helmar Cigarettes involved baseball players, one that is seen more often than this military one. All the military leaders are on horses, and the personages on the pillowcase: top left - General U.S. Grant; top-right -his rival, General Robert E. Lee; in the center - General George Washington; bottom left Napoleon Bonaparte; and lower right - the only colonel shown, W.F. Cody, famous as Buffalo Bill. Each officer is surrounded by a red stitched border. At the top of the pillowcase is the Statue of Liberty and on the bottom are displayed a cannon, cannon balls, and a drum. There is a light stain, but overall, it is a great looking case with terrific color. This is a striking vintage example of a smoking premium.
