1906 Hignett’s Pioneer Cigarettes – Modern Statesmen lot consisting of 16 original cards, issued by the Imperial Tobacco Company of Great Britain & Ireland.
This early British tobacco series features prominent international political figures from the turn of the 20th century and is far scarcer than most U.S. pre-war tobacco issues, especially when offered as a complete group rather than singles.

Viscount Hayashi, Maurice Rouvier, Count Sergius de Witte, H.H. Asquith, Julius Justh, J. Austen Chamberlain, H. Campbell-Bannerman, Lord Curzon, Baron Komura, John Morley, Paul Cambon, Baron Monson, Duke of Devonshire, Count Mensdorff, W. Brodrick, Arnold-Forster.
Condition: VG–EX overall with typical age-related wear including light corner and edge wear. No alterations or restoration. Please review photos, they show the exact cards you will receive.
Guaranteed authentic. Ships securely.
