Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Low - Medium. Although Derby is a well-known brand in South America, it is not sought after by the international collector market. This 100mm format with its original design and surviving film may be of interest to regional collectors.
-
Condition assessment: Unopened, very good condition - film is intact, surface is clean, no obvious defects.
-
Historical data and popularity: Derby cigarettes were widely consumed in Argentina and surrounding countries, known as one of the traditional brands in the domestic market. The 100 mm version was offered as a longer alternative to standard packs.
