I used to deal in antiques and in the 60's I aquired a scrapbook , plus a pile of cigarbands. Thats fifty years ago. They were old then and I would like to learn their value and sell them. It would be a shame if I pass on and family has no clue about them and throws them away. I never tried to sell them, they were tucked in a drawer in the back of the shop forever. Some of them are quite lovely. I was into primitives and china not into paper and emphera. I am sure some collector would like them I just have no idea how to find them. Being over 70 I am computer illiterate and have not got the patience to go through thousands web sites. Can you help me at all? Thanks How can I find a serious cigarband collector?

The fact that I lost the ebay auction means that no matter how crazy I am there is at least one (unknown) person worse. Yep - the National Cigar Company in Frankfort, Indiana (manufacturer of the Lincoln Highway Cigar) is still in business, but they had no interest in making me up some new souvenir cigars, even if I paid. The owner just wanted to complain to me about the tobacco tax. Oh well - I tried. I'm glad you appreciate the cigar band.
