Mostly GD-VG with a handful nicer; - Complete set of 24 ‘Cowans Noted Cats.’ Gorgeous color, 80% EX to EX-MT condition; - Collection of 35/50 Movie Stars by Coupon Cigarettes (division of Liggett & Myers). Majority are EX, with a few better and some lesser; - 23 Rulers of Foreign Countries cards by Le Roy Cigars, mostly EX; - 48 Duke’s Cameo Cigarettes collection of 48 triple-folders, representing different countries of the world. Mostly EX or better, with a good handful approaching EX-MT. - Larger premiums from Piedmont, Old Judge, Newsboy, and Turkish Trophies. 13 in all – big, bold with nice colors. Most are 5x8” or larger and in EX condition. - One 8x11” ‘No Tax Plug Tobacco Art Gem’ premium, particularly bold colors and still retaining the coupon Serial # at bottom.
