Description:
Claridge "Filter" is an Austrian cigarette pack with a unique design, containing 25 cigarettes. The upper part of the pack is light, changing to a rich orange at the bottom. The name is written in an elegant font, and in the center of the design is a medieval image of knights, giving the impression of historical aesthetics. On the sides, a warning about the harm of smoking in German for the Austrian market ("Rauchen gefährdet Ihre Gesundheit") and an Austrian excise stamp are visible. The manufacturer is "Austria Tabakwerke AG", one of the most famous tobacco manufacturers in Austria at that time.
