The rectangular metal counter card features an array of tobacco delights that would entice any smoker of that era. At the bottom of the card, an open box reveals 50 meticulously arranged cigarettes, with two lying temptingly next to it. A silver-mounted green ashtray steals attention as a lit cigarette elegantly rests upon it, inviting one to indulge in this fine brand. An open box of matches completes the ensemble, ready to ignite another pleasurable experience. The text on the card proudly announces "PLAYERs // PERFECTOS" // No. 2 VIRGINIA // CIGARETTES // IN BOXES // OF 10,20, //50 &100". This message emphasizes both quality and variety for discerning smokers seeking their preferred quantity. On its reverse side, a hanging loop and support allow this exquisite advertisement to stand upright or be displayed prominently on any surface. Additionally, instructions advise owners: "SHOULD THIS BECOME SOILED RUB LIGHTLY WITH A CLEAN MOIST LEATHER" ensuring longevity for this cherished collectible. This image serves as a testament to Nottingham's rich advertising heritage while paying homage to John Player and Sons' contribution in shaping tobacco culture during that time period.
