Default tobacco signs

c1880 Lawn Tennis Cigarettes Sign 20" wide X 16" tall framed
c1930 Camels die cut football sign 38 1/4" tall X 36 1/2" wide






Tonight I get to play on Net54, I have some time...sort of...Here are a couple of tobacco signs...both eBay pickups...I got the the Lawn Tennis Cigs sign two or three years ago...I lke it because it's so early AND IT'S AMERICAN!!!...I really like the archaic pill box cap the guy is wearing sitting with the gal, that really dates it...I intend to reframe and hang it...had to search for it for this post LOL...leaning against other orphans who are awaiting attention...And the Camels die cut football, which is currently penned on my wall with push tacks just so I can enjoy it...but I fully intend on geting an easle on the back and displaying it upright as it was designed for....I'm big on displaying these standup signs as they were made for....so you see them just like they were displayed in the store.
