Default c1910 Harvard Cigars Porcelain Sign, 42" x 19"

Here's another of my best pick-ups from 2016...It was a must have to go with that Yale Laundry porcelain sign I have...almost the same exact same size...From what I gather the 5 cents Pippins were Traiser's cheaper line, and the Harvard their top of the line...They came in four sizes and were priced at 10 cents and 15 cents, depending on the size probably...

..."This popular cigar is made in a number of sizes,
besides the New England Londres, such as Perfecto
Royal, Perfecto Extra, and Concha sizes, retailing for
1 0 cents (three for 25 cents), and 15 cents."...

Below a few related items...along with a pretty good history of the Traiser's Company I came across...
