Offered here is an Embassy cigarette packet that has been autographed on the reverse by the Who. Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon have signed in black ballpoint pen while Pete Townshend has signed in blue. The signatures were obtained at the Raith Ballroom in Kirkcaldy, Scotland on May 7th, 1965. The rectangular piece of cigarette packet measures approximately 7.5cm x 13.2cm (2.9 inches x 5.25 inches). Overall in very good condition. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from Tracks LTD. Furher set to include a letter from the original recipient that reads:
"I was a teenager in the 60s and used to go regularly to The Raith Ballroom n Kirkcaldy, Fife, especially
on the days featuring the bands which were popular at the time. It was a very informal time and the band members would often visit the bar upstairs after they had performed. That was a good time to ask for autographs and I would
usually pick up discarded cigarette packets for this. The band members were usually friendly and would happily sign their autographs and would sometimes offer to buy us a drink. I can remember the members of The Who were very friendly and took time to speak to us for a little while. The autographs of the Yardbirds were also collected in this way.
It was a long time ago but I have very positive memories of that time in my life."
