Series IV: WEICHSEL TOBACCO COLLECTION
Scope and Contents noteThis series is comprised of scrapbooks of tobacco product packaging, including those for cigarettes, cigars, loose tobacco, chewing tobacco, pipe tobacco. Also included are cigar bands, matchbook covers, newspaper clippings, and pieces of correspondence between Weichsel and the various agents from whom he procured either packaging or information about tobacco production and distribution in the various countries. The packaging is largely undated, and though there are pieces from the nineteenth century, most of the pieces appear to be mid-twentieth century, contemporary with Weichsel's collecting in the 1950s. It is currently unclear whether Landauer herself acquired this collection before her death (as she often did) or if it was donated to the Society at a later date. Because of the ambiguity of the historical record, it has been kept within the confines of the Landauer collection. The bulk of the collection is material from international tobacco companies. Countries represented include: Aden Afghanistan Algeria Andorra Angola Argentina Australia (including Tasmania) Austria Azores Belgium Belize Bolivia Brazil Bulgaria Burma Cambodia Cameroon Canada Chile China Colombia Costa Rica Cuba Czechoslovakia Denmark Ecuador Egypt El Salvador Estonia Ethiopia Fiji Finland France (including Reunion) Gambia Germany Gibraltar Great Britain: England; Ireland (including Northern Ireland); Scotland Greece Greenland Guatemala Haiti Honduras Hong Kong Hungary India Indonesia Iran Iraq Israel Italy (including Trieste) Jamaica Japan Jordan Kenya Korea Kuwait Lebanon Luxembourg Libya Madagascar Malaysia Malta Mexico Monaco Morocco (Spanish Morocco) Mozambique Netherlands New Zealand Nicaragua Nigeria Norway Oman Pakistan Panama Paraguay Peru Philippines Poland Portugal (including Madeira Island) Puerto Rico Romania Russia Saudi Arabia Senegal Singapore Somalia Southern Africa countries (including Nyasaland, Northern Rhodesia, Southern Rhodesia, Transvaal) Spain Sri Lanka Sweden Switzerland Taiwan Tanzania (Tanganyika) Thailand Trinidad Tunisia Turkey Uganda Uruguay Venezuela Vietnam Yemen Yugoslavia |
