These delicate and attractive cloth novelties were packaged with cigarettes, primarily during the period closely preceding World War I. They were intended to be sewn into pillow covers or quilts, or otherwise employed to complement home decor. A nice variety of the many pieces categorized as "S" ("Silks") in the American Card Catalog are presented in this group, including several types that are very seldom offered. Overall condition is mostly EX to EX/MT with some nicer and a small percentage lesser owing to routine edge fraying or spots of toning. Includes:
