Rare Large Antique Vintage Manila Blunts Embossed Cigar Label 1900s - 1920s
11 1/2" x 7 1/4" ~
I was excited to see these as this large label isn't found often in displayable condition like these are.
Manila Tobacco was almost on par with Cuban tobacco at the turn of the century and frequently cost more on the world market than their counterpart.
The label has very slight edgewear/rippling. You wouldn't notice in a frame or on display but please see pictures and videos and judge for yourself.
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 vintage advertising is all about with the wonderful graphics that Lithography provided that modern printing just can't reproduce. 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.
