The S14 National Arms set is a (40) silk set that was issued by a number of different tobacco companies. The most common brands that can be found on the silks are Egyptienne Luxury and Coats of Arms brands. Richmond Straight Cut versions are more difficult and even more difficult still is the Calumet brand. The silks are colorful representations of the countries and typically have similar colors to the country's flag and feature the Coats of Arms of the countries represented.
This near set (37/40) is missing only Columbian Republic, India and Mexico to be complete. The silks are mostly clean in VG to EX condition. The manufacturer breakdown in the near set is as follows: Egyptienne Luxury (19 examples), Coat of Arms (14 examples) and Richmond Straight Cut (4 examples). Three silks to a complete set, this is a great lot for the silk collector.
