R.A.F. Badges Booklet

[TacHel]

G'day gents,

I found this rummaging through some of my old stuff. A booklet filled with cigarette cards of RAF squadrons. Although the cover's corners show a bit of age, all cards are there and in great condition.

I'm wondering when this came out? All squadron data inscribed in it predates WW2.

Also, is there a market for such things? Approximate value is possible?

This is the index inside the cover showing the various squadrons covered in the booklet.

Frank - go to Google - Cigarette Cards - Values. Many sites, you will need to look for the Company who printed yours and the set name and number.

A common set. I fear. Also the collectors market for cigarette cards bombed quite some time ago, and dosn't seem to want to recover.

Regards.

Thanks! Made in 1937, value 30 pounds.

Oh I'm not attempting to sell it. Mere curiosity. I've been (finally) cataloging all of my militaria for insurance purposes... A task that is nearly 30 years overdue.

[Wood]

Ah, well for insurance purposes....
