Vintage Empty Cigarette Pack Collection – Set of 4
An interesting collection of four original vintage empty cigarette packs featuring Montana, Real, Sovereign, and Gallant. These older-style packs are believed to date from approximately the 1980s–1990s, although exact production years have not been verified.
1. MONTANA – American Blend Full Flavour
Classic white and red design with blue lettering and eagle emblem. The pack shows visible creases, dents, surface wear, and age-related marks but retains its shape. No outer cellophane; partial original inner foil remains. A Russian-language health warning is visible on the packaging.
2. REAL – American Blend
Distinctive red and white striped design with American flag graphics and eagle emblem. The pack has noticeable age-related wear, minor dents, creases, and some surface discoloration but retains its shape. No outer cellophane or inner foil. An interesting original side marking reads \'U.S. TAX EXEMPT FOR USE OUTSIDE U.S.\', suggesting packaging intended for distribution outside the United States.
3. SOVEREIGN – King Size
Classic red and gold packaging with an illustrated emblem. The reverse identifies Gallaher Limited and states \'Made in the United Kingdom\'. This pack has the heaviest visible wear of the group, including pronounced creasing, dents, and worn edges, while retaining its overall shape. No cellophane or inner foil.
4. GALLANT – Filter Kings
Vintage white, red, and gold packaging. Clearly marked \'Made in India\' and \'Produced under authority of Tobaccohouse Charles Fairmorn Ltd. USA\'. The pack also features a Russian-language health warning, an interesting detail for collectors of international and export-market packaging. Age-related creasing, worn edges, minor staining, and dents are present. Overall shape is retained. No cellophane or inner foil.
