Chelsea Cigarettes ‘Military Tax Stamp’

Standard cigarette size pack of Chelsea cigarettes. This is the only brand I have seen using a slightly different design tax stamp. Using an yellow star surrounded in red and a whole lot of red horizintal lines on either side. Chelsea is mostly known for their civilian market cigarettes using blue tax labels, often from series 115 (1945). This brand with the military tax stamp is not one you see very often, therefor being more desirable amongst collectors of both militaria as tobacco.
