What a jewel of a photo. I like to think it is someones collection versus a photo op for the newspaper. Either way, a great record. Congrats on the pick up and thanks for sharing.
That Sovereign band brings up all manner of questions. Is the pack later (more recent) than the others or is Sovereign just the innovative advertising brand of the time. The message 'never harmed anyone' sounds defensive. Who were they defending against? Was there a 'tobacco is harmful' cause and if so, what became of it?
Great photo and it brings home the fun of collecting to me.
