This example of tobacco memorabilia is a tobacco leather, a small piece of leather with a printed side given out for free with the purchase of a pack of cigarettes. This particular leather includes a picture of the Rotunda and Lawn of the University of Virginia. The leather is orange and the image in silver with only minimal wear and tear. There is no indication on the front or back of the leather which Tobacco company produced it. It can be surmised that this leather was part of a series produced on colleges to entice students of those schools to buy a particular brand of tobacco. In addition to leather, flannel and silk were also used to target different demographics (Silk to women, leather to students, flannels would take on a fake Indian motif). This Tobacco leather can be found alongside other pieces of Tobacco memorabilia in the Manuscripts Artifacts Collection. Located in Dec Obj S2, SS1, Box 12. Mss 2010.088
