Searching for some other Addicks memorabilia for Stig I came upon this.

I'm not sure what a "Smoke Club" was or even when this badge was produced. From the typeface and design any time from 30s to 50s but can't be sure. I'm not sure if it even says "Clubs" or is promoting a brand of ciggies or tobacco.

My guess would be that is it was a brand or promotion of some sort and there are other similar badges for other clubs. Any further information would be welcome.

    A curious one, that. Professor Wiki mentions Kensitas Club cigarettes, known for including coupons that could be redeemed in their own gift shops.

    Taken from from the old West Stand . It's sits above our bedroom door.

    Where's the apostrophe?

    Pass. I didn't make it. Who was our sign writer in the 90's?
