Item Details

1920

New

A visually striking collection of 15 original cigar box labels, representing both domestic and imported brands, likely dating from the late 19th to mid-20th century. These chromolithographed paper labels feature vibrant imagery, elaborate typography, and intricate detailing typical of cigar advertising ephemera designed to appeal to consumers and reinforce brand identity.

Included brands are: El Trelles, Monument Square, Victory, Tennyson, Inspiration, Golden Dawn, Momax, Samor, Continental, King Clay, La Primadora, John Jr., Villa de Oro, York Imperial, Cranes Imported, and Record Bond. The labels vary in visual style—from patriotic and classical motifs to tropical, regal, and modern aesthetics—reflecting the diversity of cigar branding during the period.

All labels are original printings (not reproductions), generally well preserved with rich coloration and clean impressions. Minor edge wear or toning may be present on a few, consistent with age and handling. A fine assortment for collectors of tobacco ephemera, commercial lithography, or early American advertising.
