Flannel Tobacco Premium with Australian Flag.
ca. 1910. Colorful, flannel tobacco premium featuring Australia. The 5 ½” x 8 ½” flannel (or, known in the trade as, a silk) has a multicolored border within brown edges and an inner color of gold with many crown symbols and the Australian flag within the border. Most of these kinds of premiums were issued as inserts in tobacco packages or as premiums to be redeemed for coupons issued by the tobacco company. Most of the American flannel tobacco inserts date from the early 20th century, mostly between 1908-1915. This flannel is one of a series of country flags. Fine. Item #23460
