Introducing the Antique Vintage "The Round-Up" Embossed Cigar Label, featuring a striking image of a bull or steer from the 1900s - 1920s. Measuring 9 x 6 1/2 inches, this label is an impressive piece of history that is sure to make a bold statement in any collection or display. The gold embossing is simply stunning and adds an eye-catching touch of elegance to this antique label. It's worth noting that most companies at the time used real gold flakes in their embossing, making this label an extraordinary find. There is some very minor wear, but none on the image itself. Overall, this is a fantastic opportunity to own a unique piece of vintage cigar label history that would make a great addition to any collector's repertoire. See pictures and videos for yourself to truly appreciate the charm and character of this nostalgic item.
Cigar labels show you what antique advertising is all about with the wonderful graphics that lithography and embossing provided, which modern printing just can't reproduce. This was mostly a lost art after the 1920s, unfortunately. Cigar Labels are a reminder of a bygone era, but the amazing lithography process is unparalleled even to this day, in my opinion. Museums and Art Institutes have galleries dedicated to them, and more and more collectors are seeking these out to preserve the history. Once the limited supply for sale is gone and on display with collectors or in galleries, then they will be very difficult to acquire.
Imagine this amazing antique advertising hanging as home decor in any room of your home instead of a museum!
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.
