Issued in 1930, a Complete Framed and Mounted Set of Player's Cigarette Cards, Entitled "Portals of the Past."

1920 - 1940
Description

From a large private collection, a 1930 issued series of a complete set of a series of 25 Players cigarette cards, entitled Portals of the Past, professionally framed, double mounted, and glazed in a pale wood frame. The explanatory notes on the back of each card are preserved and visibly showing under clear perspex on the reverse, thereby having everything available to view but still protected for display.

These cards were given with cigarette packets by the John Player and Sons Company, and were produced as general interest cards to collect in a variety of subjects, beauties, sports, historic, etc.

This very attractive and complete series of 25 cards show various historic buildings in many of the counties in England, with titles and pictures to the front, and full explanations on the reverse.

A certificate to the back confirms that this is an original set. These sets were very popular in 1930 and are equally popular today.

Size-19 inches by 25 inches. Each individual card measures 2.5 inches by 3 inches.

A great item for the collector or to display, and having been preserved under glass, is in very good condition.

This would make a great memento of a trip to England. It is a wonderful collection and a pleasure to look at as well.

Price to ship FedEx overnight within the UK, professionally packed and insured is £35.00.

Declaration

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
