Antique Vintage Big Wolf Large Embossed Cigar Label, Rare Older Version 1900s - 1920s

This is a truly superb antique vintage Big Wolf cigar label. The attention to detail with this label is striking, boasting exquisite embossing and beautifully crisp artwork. This particular example dates back to the 1900s/1920s. It is truly a rare piece of history, with only a few examples remaining in existence. Perfect for cigar enthusiasts, connoisseur collectors, or just to add a touch of vintage nostalgia to your home. Don't miss the chance to get your hands on this unique piece.

This is the original version of the large label which was changed later. They have slight edge wear and or discoloration. There aren't a lot of these left out there and most have either been severely damaged and also most of the supply of these was attacked by mold decades ago. 

Amazing Gold embossed label. Most companies at the time used real gold flakes in the embossing. 

Imagine hanging this over 100-year-old antique advertising on your wall as home decor in any room!

Cigar labels show you what antique advertising is all about with the wonderful graphics that lithography and embossing provided that modern printing just can't reproduce. This was mostly a lost art after the 1920s unfortunately. Cigar Labels are a reminder of a bygone era, but the amazing lithography process is unparalleled even to this day in my opinion. Museums and Art Institutes have galleries dedicated to them and more and more of them and collectors are seeking these out to preserve the history. Once the limited supply for sale is gone and on display with collectors or in galleries then they will be very difficult to acquire. 

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.
