The design features a green, white and gold colour scheme and traditional lettering. The front and back clearly state that these are Virginia Filter Tipped cigarettes, while text at the bottom highlights the manufacturer as The Carroll Tobacco Company, established in Dundalk, Ireland since 1834. This pack was intended for the domestic and potential export market, and the \u201cextra size\u201e designation indicates a non-standard length.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"874\" data-end=\"877\" \/>\n<p data-start=\"879\" data-end=\"902\"><strong data-start=\"879\" data-end=\"902\">Value assessment:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"904\" data-end=\"1582\">\n<li data-start=\"904\" data-end=\"1155\">\n<p data-start=\"906\" data-end=\"1155\"><strong data-start=\"906\" data-end=\"926\">Collectible value:<\/strong> Average.
