1928
Homeland Events
British American Tobacco Co.
50 cards (2 football related)
This set was issued by at least three different companies:
British American Toboacco Co. (without makers name on the back)
Lambert & Butler
W.D. & H.O. Wills (set of 54)
W.D. & H.O. Wills (set of 50, issued in New Zealand)
When I compiled the checklist for the W.D. & H.O. Wills set back in 2014 I didn't find examples of the football cards from the BAT and Lambert & Butler sets. I have recently had an e-mail from Anson at Pre-War Cards asking if I 've got any more information. The numbering of these cards seems to be similar to the Wills set issued in New Zealand and I have indicated the ones I have confirmed so far. The images of the "Cup Final Scenes in London" card seems to be the same across all the versions, but the "The Cup Final at Wembley" image differs between the sets with 50 cards and the 54 card set issued by Wills, so there may also be other differences.
