Vintage Rothmans of Pall Mall ā Royal Tank Regiment Cigarette Presentation Box
An unusual vintage Rothmans of Pall Mall cigarette presentation box, featuring a beautifully worked Royal Tank Regiment badge in traditional gold bullion-wire embroidery.
Believed to date from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1940sā1960s, this attractive piece of British military memorabilia may originally have been sold as a Christmas gift through military retail outlets such as NAAFI, although this connection has not been confirmed.

* Royal Tank Regiment insignia featuring a tank, crown, laurel wreath and Fear Naught motto.
* Traditional raised gold bullion-wire embroidery with coloured thread detailing.
* Navy-blue exterior with decorative silver-coloured edging.
* Fitted wooden interior with two compartments.
* Original plain cardboard outer box and protective tissue wrapping.
* Handwritten 2/6 marking on the outer packaging, possibly an original retail price.
Condition
Very good vintage condition, appearing unused, with a particularly clean interior. Some age-related wear and storage marks to the exterior and original cardboard packaging, as photographed.
The original tissue and outer box have been retained and are included in the sale.
An appealing piece for collectors of Royal Tank Regiment memorabilia, British military history, vintage tobacconist advertising and regimental gifts.
