Description:
This is one of the oldest Giewont A variant of a cigarette pack, produced in communist Poland. The pack has a very simple, yet contemporary design – a gold background with a red bottom section that reads „Giewont“. The top section features a snowflake symbol, which likely represents the manufacturer’s logo or a specific edition.
The inscription on the package is clearly visible „"PRICE PLN 9"”, which allows us to determine the approximate period of production, when cigarette prices were strictly controlled by the state. The side inscription "Łódzka Wytwórnia Papierosów" indicates the factory in the Polish city of Łódź.
Value assessment:
-
Collectible value: Medium-High. This type of pack is rarer than the later blue or yellow Giewont variants. The old design, smaller number of surviving units, and original condition make it attractive to serious Eastern European tobacco collectors.
-
Condition assessment: Very good - original film intact, clear printing, package undamaged.
-
Historical data and popularity: These packs are very rare even at Polish auctions, and their design and price make this unit more valuable than later editions.
