Date Published: c. Early 1970s
Description: 5 boxes illustrated cardboard boxes containing 40 packets each of rolling papers, with an additional 52 unboxed packets. 252 packets in all.Insta Roach rolling papers were the original rolling papers to feature a thin, non-toxic stainless steel wire running the length of the paper. This wire enabled the user to smoke the entire joint without the need for a “roach clip.“ The yellow boxes show a roach with bleary red eyes holding a joint by the wire, each packet shows a roach smoking while reclining. State-of-the-art paraphernalia of the era.

Outer boxes good to very good, with varying degrees of general wear and soiling; individual packets are generally fine or nearly so, a few with minor wear or small tears.
