I'm not sure of the age of this matching set but, I found this today at my grandparents old home (On a shelf in a closet).

I have found some images of close resemblance but, nothing that gives a hint to the age.

Any ideas?

Thanks A2. I'm still trying to get a better date but, I don't think that there is any way of that happening because there is no record of the purchase by my grandparents.

Cheers.

I just got off the phone with my sister and she said that our grandma quit smoking sometime in the 60's. I remember that to be correct since she mentioned it, however, being hidden on a shelf in the back closet I wonder if she actually did quit. :grin:

Thanks for the info!
