Description
Pictured on the package Silhouette of Manhattan skyscrapers against a night background – a very attractive design that conveys the spirit of New York. The inscription at the top AFC (Alexander Field Company) – manufacturer's mark.
On the other side is a minimalist version: Manhattan 100's Filter Cigarettes with text:
“"Made of finest American blend tobaccos."”
The color palette – navy blue and black with silver accents – gives the impression of luxury and modernity.
The design concept is focused on the "American dream" - the name "Manhattan" was chosen as a symbol of style, nightlife, and prestige.
Value assessment
Collectible value: Medium–high.
These packs are rare, especially in good condition and with the original film. Their limited distribution makes them of interest to collectors interested in unofficial clones of American designs.
Condition assessment: excellent – the package is tightly closed, the surface is clean, the colors are rich.
Historical data:
Alexander Field Cigarette Company (AFC) was a small independent manufacturer that produced inexpensive but visually "American" brands (Manhattan, Senator, Classic American Blend). Such packs were often produced in Eastern Europe or the Middle East for export, and the design was intended to imitate the US style.
