This original “Our Kitties” cigar box label is a documented example of early‑20th‑century American stone‑lithographed advertising art, featuring two long‑haired “Persian”‑style cats posed on a red carpet against a wood‑grain background and framed in gold‑embossed scrollwork. 🐱🐱

This is a documented early‑20th‑century stone‑lithographed Our Kitties cigar label (circa 1900–1910), listed in cigar‑label price guides and carried by specialist galleries, now pulled from long‑held NOS inventory and offered at a fair price instead of auction‑house or gallery pricing.

Printed by stone lithography and then run through a separate embossing pass, the label shows the layered craftsmanship that made these pieces famous: rich color, fine fur detail in the cats, raised blue ribbons and medals, and metallic “Our Kitties” lettering that still catches the light more than a century later. ✨

High‑grade cigar labels of this era often used metallic “gold” inks and heavy paper stock. That combination is why originals like this still display vivid color and a subtle sheen while modern reproductions look flat by comparison.

“Our Kitties” also reflects the early‑1900s cat craze, when long‑haired cats were fashionable pets and popular subjects in postcards, trade cards, and advertising. Cigar makers leaned into this trend to stand out in crowded shop windows, and today cat‑themed labels are one of the most actively collected niches in cigar‑label Americana.

This example comes from long‑held New Old Stock: unused factory labels that were never glued to a box. Expect minor age from storage only, with strong color, crisp embossing, and no modern printing on the reverse. Perfect for framing, archiving, or gifting to a cat lover or advertising‑history fan. 🎁
