Value assessment:
– Collectible value: Medium to high. Marocaine is one of the rarer European brands, made in Italy but intended for export to Germany, Switzerland and France. These packages are valued for their clean design, multilingual warnings and typical 1970s-1980s style.
– Condition assessment: Very good - foil-sealed package, undamaged, well-preserved, with a clear logo and fully visible red top seal.
– Historical data: This brand was produced by the Italian tobacco factory Maryland Tobacco SpA, part of the Manifatture Tabacchi chain. The packaging was popular among European travelers and offered as a milder, more aromatic alternative to the classic Brunette or Nazionali tobaccos.
