This item is a wonderful item of Local interest.
It is a beautifully printed
TOWN COAT of ARMS
on 100% woven silk.
These silks were an alternative to paper cigarette cards
and were given away in packets of cigarettes.
Due to the delicate nature of the silk and the numbers issued,
these have become very scarce and hard to come by
in a good condition.
This set was issued by
BDV Cigarettes
ENGLAND
1918
This one is
Town Coat of Arms
of
INVERNESS
"Invernessians"
1918
The silk is approx 70 mm x 65mm
and in very good condition
