THUNDERBIRDS CIGAR BANDS


I'm sure I had some of these as a nipper in the 60's. But I can't imagine that my Dad smoked cigars just to get them for me. Just shows you how big TB's were - sleeves for cigars! Were they not on plastic toy cigars for kids?

    There is something vaguely familiar about these, but I can't quite drag the memory into the light. Yes, perhaps plastic toy cigars. Or could they have been on chocolate versions?

    Do you read "NR. 1 - 24" to mean there were 24 different pictures? I wonder if they were all Thunderbirds?
