old cigarette cards

I've got some from my grandad. Sadly the cigarettes finished him off.

are they of flowers popeymike?

These are Great Irish :) Lucky u :)

Can't remember Irish- I'll dig them out next time I'm in the loft. I've not seen them for years.

aye popeymike, they cud look good framed

jacque i bought these ages an ages ago on e.bay for a euro lol

A bargain i'd say

i think so, ill post a photo of when they are framed, 18 cards altogether

Great collection. A step above and beyond the old illustrated gardeners guides. Good score.

thanks greenthumb

Their all very pretty Eileen :)

thanks jacque

So I did some searching and found that Will's has issued a LOT of different cards. They started back in the 1890's with actresses, and continued to issue until the 50's. From what I can read your's may be English or Irish wildflowers issued in the 1930's. and can sell anywhere from pence for a single to 40 pounds for whole sets.
I think they are beautiful and you got a real good deal!

It would be a good idea to frame them Irish. It seems a pitty for them to be in some cupboard where nobody can ever see them.

wow Wohlibuli, thanks for that info

yeah Blodyn, plus they would be safer in a frame than just left in a cupboard
