This pair of framed antique cigar box labels includes an octagonal chromolithograph of Spanish conquistadors meeting a Native American encampment and an oval Seminola label showing a portrait in a feathered headdress flanked by gold embossed coins. The two paper labels are mounted on a black mat in a simple wood frame with a gold inner liner, under glass, and a wire hanger allows vertical display. The multicolor lithographs make a collectible piece of vintage wall art and tobacciana advertising ephemera.
The upper label is marked Trade Mark and American Lithographic Co. N.Y. The Seminola label is marked Trade Mark Registered and carries The Graham-Ernst Cigar Co. name. The labels appear to date to the early 1900s, though exact dates are not confirmed. The frame maker and age are unknown, and the backing is stamped 763.
Good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age. Please review photos closely.
