Antique 1900s Tebson Embossed Cigar Label Woodgrain, Brooks & Co's, Red Lion, PA

Description: Antique Tebson Embossed Cigar Label, Brooks & Co's, Red Lion, Pennsylvania 1900s - 1920s9" x 7 " ~This was a very popular cigar brand that started in the early 1900s. By 1930 they had 5 factories going and employed hundreds of workers in each and helped establish PA as a prominent player in tobacco growing and manufacturing. The road where the factories were located is still called "Cigar Row" This town still celebrates, last I knew, New Year's Eve by raising a large cigar at midnight. Honestly, it might take me hours to research a product especially ones with a storied history but little neat facts like these make it all worthwhile to me. There isn't a ton of the Perfecto De Luxe left out there. You mostly see the Cubanos. See other version in store for an even rarer one.This is the company that also made "Have a Sweet" and "Canadian Club" see in store.It does have very slight edge wear but you would never see it in a frame. Please look at 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 antique 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.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.
