Show your Tobacco, Candy, Gum, Bread, etc. advertisement pieces

Not sure if this belongs Here, but Ive enjoyed looking at years of cool advertising pieces in this thread and wanted to contribute somehow.

neat advertising mirror but missing a few parts. I went back and forth all week about it - contacted the seller - tried to justify the retail - aesthetics - 90.00 shipping - whatever. I have a slightly earlier Duke advertising mirror with globe and wicks (also includes a tobacco insert card) made by the same company although a little "prettier" and complete. Ginter is a core of my accumulation so I was faced with a real predicament. I was fairly sure it wouldn't get a bid and I might have a shot to negotiate. You have some super advertising but didn't think of you. Curses!! ......and congratulations.

Bob, I too was watching that mirror, pretty neat, similar sentiments as Henry but sometimes you just need to bite. Congrats! I suspect Henry would have been all in if it were more complete.

JC, awesome 1892 Schedule, very nice.

I normally don't gravitate outside of 19th century slide and shell cigarette packs but couldn't resist a Detroit chewing tobacco by the name of "WOLVERINE". This wooden storage bin/bucket has a 10lb Series of 1875 tax stamp that was canceled in 1876. The top and bottom have clear stamps for Nevin & Mills Wolverine Tobacco, very complete, everything is present.

I had a suspicion pieces were missing however given the choices of owning this or nothing, I obviously chose owning it. I guess my other rationalization was that it displays pretty nicely as is and I have no issues displaying it as is.

Joe, that is a killer display piece, definitely worth stretching your collecting area!
