In lightly worn creased and grubby original sleeve printed in green and yellow carrying a lengthy note by G. J. Ashton beginning 'On this record you can hear parts of an actual sale of tobacco held on the floor of Tobacco Auctions Ltd. Salisbury introduced by BOB CAGE. Mr. Cage a native of Halifax Virginia has been auctioneering tobacco for over fifteen years in the United States and Rhodesia. His unequalled flair for imitating others of his calling makes this record a unique souvenir for all those engaged in any branch of the tobacco business - .'. Continues with a description of 'the business of selling tobacco by auction' in Rhodesia the auctioneer is described as 'selling up to £500 worth of tobacco every minute - a feat of salesmanship it might be difficult to equal anywhere': '. The buyers have their own very individual methods of bidding. Perhaps the touching of an ear a sharp glance at the auctioneer or the raising of an eyebrow may send the price up by a penny or twopence per pound. .' R. F. Cage is an artist sculptor tennis player preservationist and community activist. In 1984 he won a world tobacco auctioneer contest sponsored by R. J. Reynolds and in 2007 he demonstrated 'the disappearing art of calling a tobacco auction' at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Tobacco Auctions Limited, Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia. unknown
