Rare Antique Vintage Reine Elisabeth Gold Embossed Cigar Label, 1900s - 1930s
9 1/4" x 4 3/4" ~ little to no wear
This label is stunning! The colors just pop, and that crest is one of the most ornate Gold Embossed Royal Crests.
Amazing Gold embossed label. Most companies at the time used real gold flakes in the embossing.
Imagine hanging this over a 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.
