Sonja Henie ~ This is a large format cigarette card from 1937, published as part of the Bunte Filmbilder series two. It is card #278. Size: just over 2¼" x 2¾" (slightly smaller that a US baseball card). The edges are gilt and showing moderate wear. Overall the condition is very good/fine.
This and all other cigarette premiums that I offer are vintage originals. Combine lots to save on shipping and be sure to check out the hundreds of premiums in my store.
