O/T Need Help with British Cigarette Card

[Archive]

Posted By: Scottopotamus

Someone recently contacted me in an attempt to identify this card.



I know virtually nothing about British cigarette cards, but my initial research leads to me believe it might be from a Wills Cigarette set from 1910.

If someone can identify the card and post the information here, I would be most appreciative. (or send me in the right direction web-wise)

Thanks.

Recommended site run by an tobacco card dealer in England. He might be considered the the British Lew Lipset.

Hello,

This is my first post on this board after months of lurking. I really enjoy reading the posts and have just started dabbling in pre War cards again after collecting only basketball for the last 10 years.

The card you have shown is a strip card from the 1920s, made in the USA. I am pretty sure it is W545. This set has 200 cards and shows leaders and scenes from World War 1.

Sorry for the error above.
