Flags and arms

In the heat of battle a regiment defended the flag to the last man.
Flags are planted when territory is gained.
Countries rally to their flag and in sport to carry the flag at the Olympics is an honour bestowed.
Atherton will tap the three lions on his chest in defiance to any bowling attack.
A company will lavish expenditure on maintaining its coat of arms and ancestral family arms carry the history of generations forward.
They are symbols for all to understand and be proud of.

Franklyn Cards : Selling a better grade of card for 25 years.

Here is a classic example of what cigarette cards are all about. Not a set for everyone I really like this one. I am a fan of naval history and so this set is just perfect. The reverse gives a brief history of the ships that sailed under the name and the actions they were in. Clear concise a good set for framing this one.

Wills, Ships Badges[1925]




A set which just has history stamped all over it, proud regiments showing the standards and cap badges which they took into battle through the ages. Information on the back is of a high quality as you would expect from Players.

Players, Regimental Standards & Cap Badges [1930]

There are two series which amount to 150 cards which are an absolute mine of information if this is the subject you are looking for. Although perhaps not the most visually challenging set of cards to come out of the Players presses, they represent good value for money. You can certainly pay a lot more for a set with a lot less.

Army Corps & Divisonal Signs 1914-1918 [1924]

Perhaps not the most inspiring of colour schemes and made less so by the scanning process but this is a good set of cards if for the only reason it is one of the few that deals with this subject matter. The Indians fought bravery and in great numbers for the Empire (as did all the colonies) and have been almost forgotten by England and indeed their own country. If that makes you angry, well so it should.

Players, Colonial & Indian Army Badges


War clouds gathering and here comes the set dedicated to the fly-boys. It actually comes in two varietie with and without motto, makes no difference to price but it is an important distinction. Like a good many of these flags and insignia sets it makes a good framing opportunity. Plenty of history once more in this set.

Players, RAF Badges [1937]

Flags are a very popular theme and Players produced this set quite close to the end of cigarette cards. It has a welath of information on the reverse some of which reflects the changing political nature of the world in the run up to the Second World War. It has an embossed finish which never scans overly well and also the entire set has suffered a little in terms of price because it is a sticky-back. However this is not something that need worry the modern collector and so the lower price represents value for money.

Players, National Flags & Arms [1936]

Actually there are two versions of this set and the earlier set (thicker card) costs less, a case of having your cake and eating it this time.
