Trio of unused wrappers that were designed to contain "Gim'me" brand smoking and chewing tobacco. Manufactured by the People's Tobacco Co of Louisiana, "Gim'me" tobacco was packaged in rich, red wrappers, with an image of a caged chimpanzee, with one hand extended, as if asking for a pinch of tobacco. Some light wear and tiny edge tears are evident on these wrappers, each measuring approximately 4 1/2" x 11 7/8", though the wear is barely evident.  Of interest to collectors due to the manufacturer's distributions of the Kotton, Mino and Virginia Extra cards we collectively call T216 today.  Three wrappers total.
