Company

Helmar was a US tobacco and cigarette company. I have no further information on the company. Any information is welcome !

The series consists of 150 different cards with the coats of arms of countries, but also German, Italian and US States.

The series has been issued with at least 4 different backs, but I don;t know whether each card has been issued with each back.
