Value assessment:
Collectible value: Average.
Although Brookfield is not an internationally known brand, Spanish editions with original stamp are valued due to their limited production volume. Such packages are interesting for collectors who collect European local tobacco brands before the Altadis merger (2000).
Condition assessment: Excellent - complete, cellophane-wrapped, corners intact, colors rich, stamp clearly legible.
Historical data:
„Brookfield was one of Tobacco shop attempts to export their brands to Portugal, Andorra and some African markets. After 2004, this brand disappeared from production when Altadis began to focus on international brands.
