WWII Chesterfield cigarette pack?

[bazelot]

I just received a M-445A Navy flight jacket and in one of the pockets there was a Chesterfield cigarette pack with almost all the cigarettes still inside. I will post pictures when I have them but is there a way to determine which age they age from the package?

good surprise

normally yes, packaging change with the years

no you need to found a specialist in tobacco-cigarets collection

I will check tonight. I found a few examples for sale on Ebay so I will also take this as a reference.

Pictures of the one I found in the pocket of the M445A, looks the same to me:

Excellent bonus Tom. As a recently reformed smoker I can nearly taste this thread. I'd love to smoke one of those !

THey are probably still fine I guess . It is really odd when you find stuff like this in pockets. Once I found a $5 bill in a WWII flight suit. the bill was from the 70s so i assume the suit was used post war

That kind of tobacco is probably illegal these days. Too much of all the good stuff!!

That is a great find though!
