Description:
Reval is one of the classic German brands, but this pack is a rather unique version, made in Estonia, as the "TABAKEK ESTERI" label shows. The design is in keeping with German tradition: bright yellow, heraldic coat of arms and inscription „"Naturally pure in tobacco"“ (Pure tobacco). The top reads "Tabakeč aromatisch" (aromatic tobacco) in the Ruthenian form, suggesting that this is an export permit from the post-Soviet space.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Above average. This is a rare, Estonian-made Reval version with limited circulation. Due to the geographical transitivity (between the USSR and Western Europe), such packages acquire historical significance in collections.
-
Condition assessment: The corner of the package is unopened, slightly creased (at the bottom), but the overall condition is very good - the film is not damaged, the printing remains clear.
-
Historical data and popularity: Reval is a well-known brand in Germany, but the Estonian editions are much rarer and therefore more valuable. These sets are often considered examples of the transitional era and are valued by collectors more highly than the usual mass editions.
