| Major Drapkin 23/25 Soldiers and Their Uniforms 1914 |
| In 1914, during the first year of
the Great War, the London based manufacturer Major Drapkin issued with
their Crayol Virginia and Karam Turkish cigarettes a series of 25
Soldiers in Uniform, die-cut to shape – an unusual presentation and
highly effective in enhancing the realism of the figures. In
recognition of the role of our allies, the subjects include two
Belgian, four French and four Russian, the remaining fifteen being
British regiments – among them The Black Watch, Durham Light Infantry,
the Grenadier, Irish and Scots Guards, South Wales Borderers, The
Royal Engineers and the Royal Field Artillery, each with a brief
history on the back. We are offering 23 of these (that is a set minus
the First Life Guards and The South Wales Borderers) at a very special
price. The part set of 23 out of 25 Soldiers and Their Uniforms by Major Drapkin 1914 in Very Good condition is catalogued at £23.00 |
