Antique Pall Mall Cigarettes Tin Boxes (Matching Pair)

Antique Pall Mall Cigarettes Tin Boxes

Lambert & Butler, England | Circa 1910–1930

This rare matching pair of original Pall Mall Cigarettes tin boxes was manufactured in England by Lambert & Butler during the early 20th century, a period considered the golden age of British tobacco advertising. Produced for premium Pall Mall cigarette varieties, the set includes the Red Box (Magnum size) and the Green Box (Cork Tipped), both showcasing bold lithographed designs characteristic of the era.

Crafted from original printed metal tin, each box retains its original locking mechanism and carry handle, contributing both functional integrity and strong visual appeal. The interiors feature original printed branding on the lid, further confirming authenticity and enhancing collector value. The vibrant red and green finishes, combined with period typography and form, reflect the high standards of craftsmanship and branding associated with Lambert & Butler.

Preserved in untouched vintage condition, both tins display natural patina, surface wear, and age-related marks consistent with over a century of history. These qualities are highly valued by serious collectors and distinguish the pieces clearly from later reproductions.
