Durham Tobacco

Now that you guys mention the "Fan for a Fan" thing I think I remember an auction house had some of these a few yrs back. I believe they were quite valuable. Never the less I know the the pack is not of any important value but with how nice it is I figured get a few old advertisements and frame it together in a wall display case for my office. Guess my $2 was money well spent. I found another pack with another vendor for $10 but the label was torn and the pouch had staining on it. This one was well tucked way and I just caught a glimpse of the pouch and string. Asked a best price for it and bought it. Good ending to a crappy long day.

I purchased two of those exact packs at an antique mall near Springfield, Missouri in the late 1990s. I paid $10 each and the dealer had maybe 8 or 10 packs for sale. I remember that they had a sign posted that said, "Tobacco packs do not contain cards." I'm not sure if they're original packs or remakes from the 70s, but at least they make great display pieces and they always draw interest from anyone who looks at the stuff displayed in my office at work.
