How many of you here have heard of the Scotten, Dillon Tobacco Co. ?

It's origins dates back to 1852. This 12" x 4" wrapper (circa 1910) was designed to wrap around a large cut plug of chewing tobacco.

The beautiful lithograph depicts the White Star Line's RMS Oceanic....which was the largest ship in the world (1899-1901); and, the
fore-runner of the Titanic.
