Adds authentic mid‑century tobacciana interest to collections or display shelves. Ideal for collectors of vintage cigarette tins, Balkan Sobranie memorabilia, and early Scruvac‑lid packaging.
Vintage Balkan Sobranie Virginian No.10 tobacco tin featuring the early Scruvac Regd Trade Mark No.567634 coin‑twist lid with 8MB batch code stamped on the side. Marked “Made by Sobranie Limited, London, England.” Inside the lid is the original mid‑century wording: “Finest Virginia leaf – mild & mellow – a new cut…”, confirming this as a genuine 1950s–early 1960s example. Classic period typography and colour. The tin shows aged patina and rusting to the metal base, with expected wear from age and use. A strong collector piece for tobacciana or vintage display.
Approx 8.5cm diameter.
Used condition. Tin has aged patina with rusting to the metal base. Surface wear consistent with age.
Please remember that this is a pre-loved vintage item and will show signs of use/wear but is in good vintage condition as per the photographs.
