COMPAGNIE LAFERME BRAND HISTORY

Compagnie Laferme was established as a Russian tobacco enterprise before opening its premier German manufacturing facility in Dresden in 1862. Tobacco historians recognize the Dresden factory as the pioneer branch that introduced automated, industrially machine-made cigarettes to Germany.

The company routinely utilized exotic animal motifs for its various product lines. The "Jako" brand was named after the European colloquial term for the African Grey parrot. The brand encompassed both pre-rolled cigarette packets and branded rolling papers distributed globally. Original specimens of "Laferme Jako" rolling papers from this era are preserved in the permanent archives of the Tokyo Museum Collection (ToMuCo) under Object ID 89002809.

DESIGN AND PACKAGING SPECIFICATIONS

The packaging utilizes a slide-and-shell (drawer) architecture standard for early 20th-century premium tobacco products.

• Front Shell Art: Features an Art Nouveau framed illustration of an African Grey parrot perched on a branch, highlighting its red tail feathers. The brand typography features an early Art Deco geometric drop-shadow typeface.
• Reverse Shell Art: Displays a stylized corporate logo frame reading "Compagnie Laferme Dresden."
• Inner Drawer: Retains its original, complete, unprinted cardboard inner tray featuring a functional fold-down top closure flap.
• Factory Seals: The side edges retain segments of the original red-and-white patterned factory paper bands used to seal the slide mechanism prior to retail sale.

JAPANESE GOVERNMENT TAX STAMP SIGNIFICANCE

The physical circular stamp applied over the top edge is a custom, product-specific foreign fiscal stamp issued by the Japanese Government Monopoly Bureau (專賣局 - Senbaikyoku). Following the Tobacco Monopoly Law of 1904, Japan heavily taxed and regulated foreign tobacco imports.

• Top Red Inscription: Reads 「製造人輸入」 (Seizōnin Yunyū), denoting a legally authorized manufacturer import.
• Center Katakana Text: Phonetically prints the specific foreign brand names for customs verification: 「ラフェルム」 (Laferme) and 「ヤコ」 (Jako).
• Center Kanji Text: Reads 「拾本入」 (Jū-pon iri), verifying the packet holds exactly 10 pieces.
• Pricing Chronology: The printed price of "Price Y 0.22" (22 Sen) directly dates this packet to the early 1920s. This specific fractional pricing was utilized by the Monopoly Bureau to calculate exact post-WWI import tariffs before pricing shifted to standardized rectangular stamp designs in the late 1920s.
