Wagner Cigar Box Insert on ebay
Posted By: runscott
Any opinions on this? I saw one of these on ebay previously, but I thought it was a knock-off of a modern metal sign. Were cigar box "inserts" really made, or, if real, is it more likely that it's simply the top cut out of a box, with the back-side skinned? |

The story on this is item is as follows. A few years ago, a man who created reprint signs, created a sign (tin I think) based on the Wagner tobacco label. The sign was not an exact reprint, as he changed some of the text and the font was not an exact duplicate. A couple of years, a person in or near Ohio made laserprint reprints of the reprinted signs, making them appear like some sort of trade card and sold them at flea markets. |

There was no printing directly on the lids, but the labels (on thin paper) were pasted on them and often elsewhere on the box. |
