Great old Store Trade sign. Wood cut to cigar shape. Lettered in Gold Paint.
In good conditions, it was a in doors sign. Perfect for any cigar smoker.
Cigars History:
A cigar is basically dried tobacco leaves that are rolled and wrapped by other tobacco leaves in order to give you a full tobacco smoking experience.
Cigars are becoming more popular all around the world recently because they are exposed to a pop culture where a lot of famous people like Michael Jordan and Arnold Schwarzenegger smoke them.
In order to understand why cigars have become very well-known, we need to take a good look at their history and where they came from. That way, we can truly understand this pop phenomenon. Here is a brief history of cigars.
Origin of Cigars
The exact origin of cigars is not entirely known but historians believe that cigars were first invented by the ancient Mayans.
The ancient Mayans would collect tobacco leaves and wrap them up in a plantain leave in order to smoke it. An ancient Mayan pot...

Vintage Folk Art Black & White Hampshire Pig Smith Farms Plywood Sign Wall Decor
Located in Topeka, KS
Fabulous vintage Folk Art black and white Hampshire pig Smith Farms plywood sign wall decor. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. This great piece has a perfect age patina, so any nicks, dings, or marks are just that! Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 20th Century.
They say that “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” Well, feast your eyes on this sexy swine!! We think she is pork at its perfection! This is a wonderful folk art plywood sign or wall décor that we believe originally came from a pork farm post in Fort Dodge, Iowa. It is a fabulous black and white Hampshire pig that looks as though she’s been taking care of a litter of piglets!! Did you know they say mother pigs sing to their young while they are nursing? Can’t you just hear her grunting, “This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed home…” Oh the sweet sound of a singing sow! She would be a fun addition to a pork lovers’ kitchen or barbeque pit...

Huge Ghirardelli Chocolate Parrot Mascot Painted Wood Advertising Sign, 1930s
Located in San Francisco, CA
A very rare and full of character 1930s six-foot-tall Ghirardelli Chocolate hand-painted wood advertising sign featuring the company's early and iconic parrot mascot.
Fantastically vibrant and eye-catching outdoor billboard advertising products by the world famous 170-year-old San Francisco chocolatier, after which the city’s historic waterfront landmark Ghirardelli Square is named. Commanding and colorful graphic design distinguished by crisp, bold lettering and an incredibly charismatic parrot excitedly squawking the proper pronunciation: "Say Gear-Ar-Delly!" The parrot mascot was introduced in 1915 as part of a successful ad campaign that saw sales rise as customers felt more comfortable in asking for their chocolates and other products by name.
In the parrot’s shopping cart are three cans of Ghirardelli products—Nu-Malt, Ground Chocolate, and Milk Cocoa—each nicely showcasing early-to-mid-century American packaging design. Displays a wonderful sense of depth and economical attention to detail. Exactingly executed and varied typefaces handsomely embody exactly what makes vintage advertising signage so visually striking and sought after. Reminiscent of Guinness beer posters...
