About This Item
[TWAIN, MARK] [Clemens, S. L.] MARK TWAIN CIGARS, LIKED BY ALL. [Baltimore: Parker Metal Dec. Co., ca. 1913-1931] Tin advertising sign, 10 x 28 inches, printed in raised red letters on a yellow background, within red border. This is the sign used to advertise the five cent cigars whose unused inner box labels are commonly seen; the sign is quite scarce, the result of a small cache of these signs found years ago inside the wall of a house. The proofs for the cigar box label and cigar band were dated 1913, but the trademark was not registered until 1931, after production had begun. This brand of cigar, distributed by Wolf Brothers, was still in production as late as the 1930s. The usual small nail holes and paint blemishes. A later version of this sign was made by the Ingram-Richardson Company of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania.
