Kensitas Silk Flowers - A comprehensive collectors guide to the issues of Kensitas Woven Silk flowers which were given away free with Kensitas Cigarettes in the 1930's. The site now has more than 300 different Kensitas flowers displayed.

Each of the Kensitas flowers came encased in its own descriptive folder. The small size was included in the packets of ten cigarettes; a medium size silk with the packets of twenty; and a postcard size came with the tins of 50 cigarettes.

Initially a set of the same 60 Kensitas flowers was issued in both the Small and Medium size silks, and then a further set of 40 was produced. Just one set of 30 of the Postcard size was issued, each of which had two Kensitas flowers displayed.

Over the years, many colour and design variations of these silks have been discovered, which are eagerly sought by collectors.

Albums were made available, each of which held a complete issue of one of the size sets.

On the following pages, you will find all 230 of the Kensitas silks which make up the various sets displayed - there are, of course, also many colour variations of these available.

My wife and I have collected these exquisite Kensitas flowers for many years and presently have several hundred very good condition inexpensive spares for sale - a full detailed list of what we have available will be emailed to you without obligation on request.

We are also always interested in purchasing Kensitas silks in covers, loose silks; spare covers; complete sets; albums etc.
