Help with Helmar Cigarettes Sign, 44" wide
 

43 1/2" wide x 14 3/4" tall
Can anyone tell me about Helmar Cigarettes? I got this sign today...needs some restoration...couldn't make up my mind but for a buck and a half I pulled the trigger. If I'm not mistaken there are Helmar cards? It's interesting..above the illustration are instructions to sign makers on how to copy it...it's as if it was meant as a model/example for bill boards.

There are 1911 Helmar tobacco baseball stamps.
