Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2014

The thought that this fantastic find once slid over a pack of ten cigarettes which also housed an early hockey card sure is fascinating. Considered the earliest hockey card wrapper, a similar cigarette pack was purchased in recent years with a full set of C56 cards inside and is indeed the correct type of pack/wrapper that cards issued by Imperial Tobacco would have been distributed in back in the day! Each outer side of the "shell" reads "Manufactured by Imperial Tobacco Company of Canada Limited - Under Sole License for Canada." The delectable piece is free of any tears/splits, exhibits light to moderate handling/wear and awaits a big-time tobacco card shrine. Imperial Tobacco also was responsible for baseball’s C46 set, three lacrosse issues and the C14 / C45 Bird sets
