These are two Tobacco Cards depicting Valentino from the film, "Cobra." Both cards show the same pose. The first card is from The Westminster Tobacco Company. The second, surprisingly does not indicate the brand of cigarette. Tobacco cards served two purposes, to get people to buy their product for the cards and second, to have something out there that advertised their brand, a way of marketing. These cards are not too rare, they are fairly easy to find.
