as a T card because it is a foreign brand. J. Wix developed Kensitas cigarettes and apparently had some interesting marketing/coupon schemes. Neat looking characterizations though. I've always enjoyed the Bridge Favors and have a lone example in my accumulation.

hi mark,
under atc in the world index part 1,item a52-188, it says issued in usa and by arrangement with j wix & sons in uk. so must be the t14 set mentioned above. it also says series of 80-25 movie actors,25 actresses,30 comic characters, but no checklist. someone must have some of the lucky strike ones somewhere so if a checklist doesnt exist then we might be able to create one between us!
ive just looked in the gallery and the t14 set is there, check it out

There's a full T14 checklist in the book American Tobacco Cards: Price Guide & Checklist. Dan C. is welcome to copy/scan the page & put it in the gallery to go with the pictures.
The Kensitas backs seem to be a lot scarcer than the Lucky Strike backs that you normally see, though that might be because Wix was distributing in the UK while the ATC was distributing the Lucky Strike version in the U.S. Still, I think there were fewer produced (Kensitas).
The T14 actors & actresses seem a bit scarcer than the 30 novelty designs which come around a lot more frequently.

Here is the Lucky Strike veersion of the Noah Berry card. I've include the only other stars I have and a scan of some of the miscellaneous. I have about 10 of the national type and 6 of the misc. type. I can send more scans if you want.
