Indian Passing Show Cigarette Tin - IND 65

A wonderfully distressed antique cigarette tin from the iconic "Passing Show" brand by Lambert & Butler of London, boldly printed in red and gold and featuring a characterful portrait of a gentleman in a top hat, with its original hinged lid and wire clasp still intact — a raw and evocative relic of early 20th century British-Indian trade history. Found in India, this heavily patinated tin with its peeling graphics is a prized piece for collectors of vintage advertising, tobacco ephemera or colonial-era objects. Length: 24cm / Width: 15cm / Thickness: 9.5cm
