Nile / (Pyramids and Sphynx on the Nile) / Egyptian / Cigarettes. (Western Australia) Tins Tobacco Multicoloured cigarette tin. 75 mm high. 1930s
Very Good. Quite a rare Australian tin, Michelides Ltd from Western Australia whose tobacco factory was situated in Roe Street, advertised some of the products that they manufacture in 1934, this being one of them. With only a dozen or so articles mentioning this product in 1934, I feel that it was quite short lived. I cannot find any ebay sales history of this tin either, so although not a tin collector, I have a feeling this Aussie piece is a scarce one? Some surface corrosion and discolouration. Some scratches and the odd little dint as well. Quite a solid example. Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 75
