N/A (N/A). 1. Good. Treadway's first came to prominence in the 1880s, still advertising in the 1950s, this would date somewhere in the middle of this period. Has a fold or two. Discolouration and some wear. A little foxing to the edges. A great piece of advertising. 2. Mint. Still in original box. Box has some minor wear to the edges. Cutter just has some minor marks. A gret item. 3. The match book is unused with the full complement of matches. Interesting with the Harbottle details inside from Abbotsford. The rest are just part of the math boxes, one side label only. The Ship is in two pieces. Wear and stains throughout to them. Some foxing, some tears. Interesting selection. 4. Good. Stained. Some stitching has come apart near the bottom, maybe that is why this is empty? Fading to the print. Small hole to upper rear funnily enough looks like a cigarette burn. Lower rear has a heavy spot of rust. Unusual thing, a tobacco bag is ont something I've seen a lot of. Estimate: $50-75
