J. Wix / Kensitas Cigarettes - Henry (02)


1935-7
Henry
J. Wix / Kensitas Cigarettes
5x50 cards (5 football related)

Five sets of cards were issued between 1935 and 1937, each of 50 cards. I have found some more football-related cards from these sets. The 2nd Series comes with two different back designs. The first two illustrations seem to suggest that the cards were officially folded in half, probably to fit in packets of 10 cigarettes. The cards are numbered in the first two sets but unnumbered in the last three. All cards measure 65 x 78mm.
Some of the illustrations from these series were also issued by Tareyton Cigarettes in the United States but I haven't been able to find any of the football-related cards amongst them.
