Company
John Player & Sons , known simply as Player's , was a tobacco and cigarette manufacturer, based in Nottingham, England. It is today part of the Imperial Tobacco Group .
John Player founded his tobacco company in the mid- 19th Century in Nottingham. It was later expanded into a thriving cigarette manufactory and run by his sons, John Dane Player and William Goodacre Player.
In 1901, in response to competitive threats from the USA, the Player's business was merged with the Imperial Tobacco Group (headquartered in Bristol. The Imperial group included other companies such as W. D. & H. O. Wills ). However, Players cigarettes retained their own identity with their distinctive logo of a smoking sailor in a 'Navy Cut' cap. The company still exists today.
John Player & Sons have issued hundreds of series of cigarette cards. Only a few have a heraldic theme.
