Players Weights |
|
|
Players Weights was the ‘Players’ brand competing head to head with the
‘Wills’ brand Woodbine, whilst the larger cigarettes ‘Players’ and
‘Senior Service’ competed at the other end. Weights were first
manufactured in the 1800’s by John Player and Son in Nottingham, and
were available in 10’s, 15’s and 20’s (and probably 5’s too) they came
in plain or cork tipped variety. They were originally known as Players
No 1 but by the turn of the century they became known as ‘Weights’
because they were sold by weight and not by count. This is the second
version of this brand as the first release CIG042 proved so popular. |
