As Inspector Aberline (Hugo Weaving) talks to Mrs. Kirk (Lorraine Hilton) at the pub, a large advertisement reading "Odgen's" can be seen on the back of his newspaper. This is actually a period accurate add for Ogden Tobacco, a very popular brand of cigarettes that started in the 1860s in Britain, and existed for more than a century. Interestingly, this company was the first to include collectible cards in its packs, featuring everything from historical figures to animals or exotic locations. Nowadays, Ogden's cards are prized collectibles and highly sought: One of the rarest and most popular ones was the 1920 famous actors series featuring Lon Chaney, Jr., the original Wolf Man. If the series of cards was from 1920, it couldn't have been Lon Chaney Junior, as he was a 14 year old boy in 1920; it was presumably his father, Lon Chaney in that series, or he appeared in a later series.
