Collectable Barratt's Cards

 

In 1952, Barratt & Co. issued a series of black-and-white collectable cards packed with their popular sweet cigarettes, bringing Walt Disney Productions’ live-action film The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men to young audiences in an engaging, collectable form. Serving as a promotional tie-in, the cards allowed children to collect, trade, and relive the story through Barratt’s sweet cigarette packs. Below is part of regular contributor Laurence’s collection.
