Description: Maltepe is one of the most famous brands of Turkish tobacco manufacturers. This particular „Filtresiz“ (without filter) packet with the inscription „2000“ indicates a limited edition or a production of a certain period. The packet has a classic design: a white background, a red lower segment with a white „Maltepe“ logo and gold details at the top. Visually, it is an example of austere, archaic design, which for collectors symbolizes the late 20th or early 21st century era in Turkey.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Average. Due to the limited number of surviving units and the exclusive "2000" edition, the pack may be attractive to collectors, especially those interested in the Eastern European and Asian markets.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, in original film, very good condition.
-
Historical data and popularity: Maltepe was one of the most widely distributed cigarette brands in Turkey in the late 20th century. Although it is not in the spotlight of world-class collectors today, some editions, especially those in good condition, have their own niche in the market.
