1940's Cigarettes



This week's favorite thing.......a pack of cigarettes from the 1940's.  Rare to find something consumable in mint condition.  This was a pack of 'Wings' cigarettes.  Popular with soldiers during WWII as I understand.  Neat thing about cigarette packs is that you can date them based on the tax stamp pasted on them.  This particular pack had a series 115 tax stamp, dating it to 1945.  Another thing that makes them neat is that they were produced in pre-Surgeon General's warning times, so they lack today's typical notations.
