An extremely rare tobacco premium of U.S. Generals, included are images of Gen. George Washington, Gen. Robert E. Lee, Gen. U.S. Grant, Napoleon Bonaparte and Col. W.F. (Buffalo Bill) Cody in 6.75x8.75" sewn portraits with interesting imagery of early artifacts of war and the Statue of Liberty. Handsome and elegant, the textile premium measures 23" square. According to research, this was intended as a pillow face, and was only available by mail-in offer as the ultimate premium from Helmar, after purchasing hundreds of tobacco products. The textile has a couple of stains, light foxing and fraying to two sides.
