The "Ponce, González y Cia" tobacco factory marketed various brands of cigarettes between 1926 and 1942 such as "Mariscal", "Imparciales" and "Combinados".
In 1934 the company organized a contest for its "Combined Cigarettes" brand that consisted of putting together the figures that came in each pack of cigarettes, completing a team of 20 figures and exchanging it for prizes.
20 figurines of each of the 14 teams of the Argentine Foot-Ball League were published: Unión Atlanta-Argentinos Juniors, Unión Talleres-Lanús, Velez, River, Boca, Racing, Independiente, San Lorenzo, Huracan, Estudiantes de La Plata , Chacarita, Platense, Ferro and Gymnastics of La Plata.
