Cigarette Cards - just going through my boxes of Motoring Memorabilia and uncovered these.
The Album was put together by my late Father when he was young - he was smoker so assume he collected them himself in the late 1930's the cards a set of 50 by WD and HO Wills and they are in a
" Three Caftles " - Castles but using the old fashioned for of the " s ".
The 50 cards take up about half the album - I had found some cards in another book but they turned out to be duplicates.
The " Three Castles " Album
and the Five pages of cards.
Images were photgraphed not scanned - will see how they look and later scan both the photos and the reverse with details of the cars.
Have also just acquired the " Souvenir Booklet " from the " 13th International Vintage and Veteran [ Car ] Rally " held in New Zealand in 1972.
I took a lot of photos of the Rally group who went on Route 22 the Hamilton to nelson Section when the cars were in Napier - have posted the photos previously but will post some highlights and now have more details on the cars.
Booklet came from Tony haycock a Vintage Car guy and former editor of the NZ Classic Driver Magazine back in the early 2000's through to around 2015.
More to come on this thread.
