Excellent. I believe the Redford labels were all found together in an old store in Victoria many years ago. The novelty item is quite ingenious, and tobacco related! You touch a lighted cigarette to a dot on the left of the piece of paper and somehow a trail goes across the page for each of the horses with one going quicker than the rest to win! There are some minor stains and folds to the items in the frame, but overall they are in fantastic condition. Wonderfully framed too, a fabulous piece all round. Grade: N/A Estimate: $100 - 150
