Three-Dimensional Sales Stimulator
Outstanding Cigar Trade Sign
Turned, Carved and Polychrome...
Circa 1870-1880...based on lettering

This cigar sign is a most unusual and desirable piece of advertising from a California collection.
Turned carved and painted to simulate tobacco leaf and the ash and ember of a lit cigar. The highly stylized lettering done in silver powder suggests that the piece was carved and painted by a professional in a metropolitan area; silver lettering with traces of gold or chrome yellow silhouetting outside edges against a tobacco leaf brown ground; the flame end painted an ashen gray with wisps of trailing smoke and a ring of hot red for heat. (Length: 44.25-inches; circumference at center: 17.25-inches.)
