is here anybody with a portable cassette player, labelled with one of the following tobacco-companies: Astor Atika Cabinet Davidoff Duett Eckstein Ernte 23 Gauloises Gitanes JPS Juno L&B No. 6 Peter Stuyvesant P&S R1 R6 Regal Reval Roth-Händle Salem Superkings 100 West Goldfield XXXL ...they are all cigarette-labels in Europe, especially Germany. as i do have a WESTman and a JPS (JonPlayer) unit i was wondering if they might have made other players as giveaway - probably all the same unit ? NOW i'm awaiting your answers !!!
I don't think Cigarette Gifts worked like that in the UK. However, in 1973 you could have got all this audio gear including a Panasonic Cassette Recorder and tapes to play in it just by smoking enough Benson and Hedges Cigarettes. I have no idea how many certificates you got in a pack. Does anyone else know ? I would guess you had to smoke quite a lot to get the portable TV or even a Washing Machine for 54000 certificates p.s That is just the audio section. The whole catalogue is 132 pages covering everything from Ladies Fashion, through Children's toys to Garden tools and even seeds.
Not on your list Nice Benson All weather sports They did Ferric tapes , I remember in the 90s sending vouchers off from my mums Cigs for some Tapes https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-...277072?hash=item36232b57d0:g:bm4AAOSwLyVZyWb7
So by the 1980s / 90s they were branding their gifts. I don't recognise that many of the brands Autoreverser lists while Benson and Hedges was one of the most popular UK brands.
If I remember well, my best friend had a John Player Special walkman in the early eighties indeed, rather low quality though.
I collect Discmans, not Walkmans (sorry!!) and the only brand I ever saw was Marlboro: Marlboro is/was not my poison (I was Winston guy) but I could not resist buying it.
Don't know all i know is John Player Lotus F1 team rules with respects to Colin Chapman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZBJ6b2TOU4 If there are such devices they are jems to me.
Low quality hahaha well if its John player it has been made with a little glue dried out banana spit and tears maybe so do not wonder if it dissolves itself
I remember the JPS Corgi Car being really cool looking in the case, although we didn't know it was a tobacco company...
Well we all know how it ended with lotus/delorean story then you start constructing cars with glue spit tears and maybe nose bleeding and that is why nobody can fix a lotus probably also why Chapman lost it and wanted to create cars from surf boards haha....i actually had to "allah akbar"or it looked like similar to a marriage proposal anyway to get into one! But we know JPS better than most people and the story behind the tobacco company,the CIA the britsh government,How lotus was banned from F1 and how an englishman with a barn that made cars managed to piss on the doorsteps of Maranello for 7 times!Even the little red horse got scared and run away! So if someone has those Jps please show!
Well here is the proof https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1982-ADV...679536?hash=item3d51d159b0:g:WzIAAOSwpkFY7HYv When they banned Tobacco companies from sponsoring Formula 1 people wondered where the sport would get the money from to keep going. The funny thing is that there was a huge fuss when condom manufacturer Durex wanted to sponsor an F1 team "The small family car" , with threats that it would never be shown on TV even if it was in the lead. Have a look towards the bottom of this. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2016/nov/25/the-joy-of-six-f1s-strangest-racing-cars Showing how attitudes have changed, I have often recounted the story of how when I was about nine back in the early 1970s an electrician who was working in our house ran out of cigarettes, so I was sent, on my own with some money to the local shop to buy him some more, which wasn't a problem.
"I was about nine back in the early 1970s an electrician who was working in our house ran out of cigarettes, so I was sent, on my own with some money to the local shop to buy him some more, which wasn't a problem." That was happening to me in the 80s and early 90s just saying haha! I even remember i had to go buy those..............JPS still exist however they taste like horseshit.....i do not know when Lotus was "wearing" them maybe even more addictive
If i start posting now about group B rally i am definitely off topic hahahahahah "Wrc is for boys Group B was for men" the same goes for F1 today Hamilton bahhhhhhhh Its the same story all over again boomboxes of today..bahhhh boomboxes of the past real cool!
Looks like a lotus europe even worse in this case the floor is made from paper glue fiberglass so on an aggressive drive you may find yourself playing Fred Flintstone.But the thrill remains!
