Muratti’s – After Lunch Cigarettes, empty Tin, c1920s-1930s? This is a decent example of an old (around 1930 or so I think) empty Tin that once held 20 Cigarettes. The lid shows a well-dressed gentlemen sitting in a chair in what looks like a conservatory or summer house. It reads Muratti’s After Lunch Cigarettes, and in smaller print has the words B.Muratti Sons & Co London. The base has text about the cigarettes and the underside of the lid has the emblem of B.Muratti Sons & Co. The tin is in good clean condition. The base shows some minor signs of handling and the sides have some discolouration but they are not bad and the lid is lovely and clean. It is impossible to be an expert in all realms of collecting, and I am honestly representing this item to the best of my knowledge and ability. If the item has a fault then I have mentioned it. I ask that you read the description and examine the photos carefully. I also encourage you to ask any questions you may have during the auction to help clarify identification or condition, as I may inadvertently omit information that you as a collector feel is important. If after you receive the item there is any problem at all please let me know BEFORE leaving feedback or leaving a low Item As Described rating. If you do not let me know of a problem I have no way of knowing what may have been wrong and I really do want to sort it out. I am not able to provide scans of paper items and I have no facility to record / copy any records. Browsing ! Rather than ! e.g. 7" single records, LP's, Books, Toys etc etc. You will not have to wade through hundreds of items that you are perhaps not interested in. CONDITION. The majority of items that I list are between forty and sixty years old. Some are older and some may be a few years younger. I have described the condition of the item in my text but where applicable I have also ticked the 'used' box as even where an item is 'perfect', it is very old and logic says it must have been handled and probably used at some time over the decades! ALL of my AUCTION ITEMS are now listed with basic / second class POSTAGE INCLUDED in the UK. Despite the Free P&P notice shown on this listing it is not actually free to post of course! I have to pay to post them and each week / month / year I pay many thousands of pounds to my local post office. But for UK bidders the price you see at the end of the auction is the total price you pay. If by some remote chance anyone out there - including the Bods at eBay who came up with the Free P&P notice - can tell me where you really can post items for free I would really LOVE to know. DELIVERY TIMES. Although I have ticked the Royal Mail 2nd Class Standard option, please note that this service is reliable and often is unexpectedly fast. Many customers receive their item within 48-60 hours of paying, and so please disregard the 'estimated delivery time' stated near the top of this page - which I have no control over. I have also listed other faster options for UK postage (First Class Recorded Delivery + Special Delivery is available) and also various options for overseas buyers that are stated when you Worldwide Postage / Shipping. Upate - April 2015 - Each year at this time the Royal Mail increases its prices. I have had to increase the cost of a few items by a small amount. BUT - new Large Letter rate means that I have been able to reduce prices for the majority of the items that I sell. IF YOU ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON MORE THAN ONE ITEM PLEASE CONTACT ME IN ADVANCE FOR A QUOTE. I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO COMBINE SHIPPING AND WITH THE NEW ROYAL MAIL PRICING BANDS MANY ADDITIONAL ITEMS WILL EFFECTIVELY HAVE FREE POSTAGE. In the case of 7" singles there will be a small charge for a second one but th... read more
