Show Me Your Cigarette/Tobacco Signs and Advertisements
 

I just picked up this really neat Red Cross cardboard sign. It's pretty large - almost 2.5 feet by 2.5 feet.

So - show me what advertisments you have!

Here's another one - an original tin A&G Richmond Straight Cut sign advertising the packs that contained N43s...

Here's one we sold recently at Heritage. I made the dumb joke in the catalog copy:

Here's a gentleman who will have some problems getting through airport security.

...because of the lit cigarette, of course...

This Federal League tobacco tin is a wonderful example of early 20th century baseball art, and an important addition to our memorabilia collection.

We are especially please to add this piece to the country's largest collection
of Federal League memorabilia.

Tonight I get to play on Net54, I have some time...sort of...Here are a couple of tobacco signs...both eBay pickups...I got the the Lawn Tennis Cigs sign two or three years ago...I lke it because it's so early AND IT'S AMERICAN!!!...I really like the archaic pill box cap the guy is wearing sitting with the gal, that really dates it...I intend to reframe and hang it...had to search for it for this post LOL...leaning against other orphans who are awaiting attention...And the Camels die cut football, which is currently penned on my wall with push tacks just so I can enjoy it...but I fully intend on geting an easle on the back and displaying it upright as it was designed for....I'm big on displaying these standup signs as they were made for....so you see them just like they were displayed in the store.

Carlton, I think that lady with the pill box hat and the mustache works at my local library. She smokes those brown cigarettes now though.

wow
 

Jon, Darn, that looks rare...is that all original? Never seen it before...what are the dimensions?

William, Yeah maybe...if she moves when you push on her probably not though!

Carlton - I should have clarified; the piece is not mine. Not sure what it sold for last time it was up for sale but heard it changed hands for over $50k. Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong...
