First World War AFV cigarette cards

Hello to you all,

Many years ago when I was very young, the elderly widow who then lived next door gifted me her husband's cigarette cards , collected in period at the expense of his lungs. Turned up in a rummage so I thought you guys might be interested.

Sadly not the full set, but probably unique now in having passed through so few hands.

 

Regards,

Matt

Matt,

They are quite worthwhile holding on to them.

I believe some cigarette cards are in a British museum  and can be valuable.

Your thread reminds ME of another similar thread on another forum....

I think    you need to keep them in a pristine manner...

They are getting rarer as depict an era long gone together with those vehicles etc...

 

Thank you for sharing yoyr collection. 

You were gifted a lovely collection .
