Company

Fassi is a company specialised in cough drops and similar confectionary. The company was founded in 1900 as a 'pharmaceutical institute' and still exists, now with headquarters in Rome.

In the 1920s (?) the company issued a large series of small cards with their product Mental, (now Mental classic), with coats of arms of Italian cities.

I have no idea how many cardswere actually issued, as they are not numbered.

For all known stamps see here.
