Not many cigarette card sets came out in the 1950s, so our choice this month is all the more appreciated. It is C.W.S series of 24 Western Stars issued with 'Jaycee' tipped cigarettes featuring colour pictures of stars noted for their roles in that popular genre of films based on adventures in America's west. Naturally, 'King of Cowboys', Roy Rogers, is included as well as Ward Bond who appeared in "Gone With The Wind" and John Ford's classic western "Salute". Also in this set is Ernest Borgnine whose memorable roles included "From Here to Eternity" as well as numerous westerns, Sterling Hayden, a regular in cowboy films but also prominent in "Asphalt Jungle" and "Johnny Guitar" and Dale Robertson, the one-time prize fighter who was later to become the star of TV's "Wells Fargo". This set will bring back memories for many readers, and it is wonderful value at this month's discount price.

C.W.S. 24 Western Stars (1957) in Mint condition is catalogued at £16.00
