Antique Crane's Imported Embossed Cigar Label, Indianapolis, Indiana, 1900s - 1920s

Imagine this antique advertising hanging on your wall as home decor in any room!

Cigar labels show you what vintage advertising is all about with their embossed labels. This is a fine example of stone crayon lithographing at its finest. This was a lost art after the 1920s unfortunately.

My pictures seriously don't do it justice. These had to be done on heavy paper stock which makes them stay vibrant and new looking for a long time.

This item has reached full antique status.

Most of these artists were very good but desperate for work during that era and got paid very little and received no recognition for their work. Unfortunately, the majority of these artists will remain unknown but we can keep their art alive forever.
