These are some of a hoard of Carl Forster & Graf packets that were found a few years back.

Some collectors viewed them with suspiscion when found.

See the pinned thread on these packets.

The small packet that strated this thread is made out of the standard size (big) packet. When you cut and fold it in the right way you get this. The seem seen on the back of the packet is the side fold when it is the standard size packet.

You can do this to all standard size packets, but why do this. With CF&G packets it may bring more money as it is a small and never seen before packet. I say made post war to fool a collector.

All good points Thomas.

What do you think of the 'age' of the packet? Not like the pristine packets we normally see.

all of these are not in perfect condition.


The first one posted is cut down, it's done by hand and not very good either.

On looking at Shane's packet you can clearly see the cut mark on the fold, bottom right hand corner.
