Corn Flower Cigarette Silk

Description

The bottom of 6 of the printed silks reads “49 Corn Flowers”. 2 of the silks read “Factory No. 7, 5th Dist., N.J. at the top and “Corn Flower Zira Cigarettes” at the bottom. The picture of the corn flower is the same on both versions. Silks were a promotion for cigarette companies in the early 1900’s. The silk is approximately 2 by 3 inches.
