Ardath Cigarette Cards Collection
This lot comprises a collection of vintage Ardath cigarette cards, dating from wartime. The cards depict a variety of subjects, likely related to military aircraft, ships, and wartime themes, typical of collectible series issued by tobacco companies during this period. Included is a small, pocket-sized soldiers bible, offering a poignant glimpse into the personal faith and comfort sought by servicemen during times of conflict.
Condition and Collectibility
The condition of the cards varies, as is common with vintage ephemera. Some cards may exhibit signs of age, such as edge wear, minor creasing, or slight discoloration. The soldiers bible shows signs of wear consistent with age and use. This collection will appeal to collectors of vintage cigarette cards, military history enthusiasts, and those interested in social history and wartime ephemera.
