EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage photograph, a young boy proudly holds a large pack of Players Navy Cut Snap Game - The Drummer cigarettes. Dressed in a British military uniform, complete with a cap adorned with a cockade, the boy exudes a sense of excitement and energy. The pack of cigarettes, with its distinctive "Drumhead" design, rests on his outstretched palm. The Players Navy Cut Snap Game was a popular pastime during the early 20th century. The objective of the game was to collect all six different character cards, each representing a member of a military band. The boy in the photograph appears to have acquired the "Drummer" card, which explains the cigarettes' connection to the game. The image captures the essence of the military spirit and the excitement of collecting cards. The boy's drumming accessories, including a drum and drumsticks, are visible in the background, further emphasizing his role as the drummer in the band. The marching band theme was a common advertising motif during this era, as tobacco companies sought to associate their products with the spirit of camaraderie and adventure. Despite the passage of time, this photograph remains a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of collectible card games and the role of tobacco advertising in shaping popular culture. The image's timeless appeal lies in its ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder, transporting us back to a bygone era. The photograph dates back to 1930 and is an excellent addition to any collection of vintage advertising or military memorabilia. It is a reminder of the rich history of tobacco advertising and the enduring appeal of collectible games.
