Including two packs that depict Laika
Dimensions: max. 9.5 x 8 x 2 cm
Provenance: Collection Andora, Germany
An exciting collection of Soviet and German space memorabilia for the smoker!
This is a collection of four still originally packed packs of cigarettes, a cigarette case and a lighter. ‘Twelve men had a dream: to send a message to alien intelligence in the infinite worlds of the universe. The day finally came on October 30, 1992 at 7.59 pm when a rocket was launched from the Russian space center in Baikonur. On board: a communication satellite, a pack of West cigarettes and West advertisement poster. Will our message be received?’, reads the slogan on the pack of West cigarettes. Included in the lot are also a pack of Russian Apollo Soyuz cigarettes and two ‘Laika’ cigarette packs. Laika was the first dog to orbit the Earth. One of the ‘Laika’ packs bears the signature of the German artist Andora in black permanent marker, the number and the copyright sign ’12 ©’. A brown case shows the moon orbiting the earth. The cigarette case is inscribed with the date ‘4 October 1957’. The depiction of the lighter reminds of the first manned space flight by Yuri Gagarin. The date ‘12-VI-1961’ of this flight and the Cyrillic name for ‘West’ are engraved on the lighter. The name of the lighters manufacturer is located on the lower side of the lighter.
The pieces are in good condition. The cigarette packs are a little bit crushed. There are scratches on the outside of the cigarette case and traces of use inside. In the Apollo Soyuz cigarette pack is loose tobacco. The dimensions are max. 9.5 x 8 x 2 cm.
