OT: 1880s Cigar Store Photo
Can anyone identify the store display that shows I think wrestlers up in the corner?
Thanks

Dan, nice find in that photo. I wonder if it the piece is related to the N266 Boxing Positions set produced by Lorillard. The cards themselves are very attractive, and show two boxers engaging in battle (both being identified on the card front). That being said, I don't think I have ever seen that exact display before.

Nothing much to add, just wanted to compliment you on a fine photo. Have you scanned the display case at a high resolution to investigate what might be there?

I scanned it at 300 dpi and all I could read was "Dixie" cigars...I'll have to scan it at a higher resolution and see what else I can find.

Charley Mitchell vs. James J. Corbett
Fought 1894 From a Giles Co. Lithograph. Not sure when they originally made the print.  A re-issue of the print is listed here: http://www.antekprizering.com/corbet...rintreiss.html You'll see the re-issue or reprint of this image on Ebay every once in awhile. I don't recall ever seeing the version in the Cigar Store. That would be an awesome piece to have.

So that probably makes the photo closer to turn of the century. That explains why there are less ornate ad pieces on the walls. After the ATC was formed the need for expensive advertising decreased significantly.

Wow, thanks guys....and Jay you may be right that it's closer to 1900 as the cabinet style is similar to one of my Nebraska Indians cabinets from 1898.
