About the Item

This very large and colorful placard sized store display sign was presumed to have been made in the United States for the Gran Habano Cigar Company of Honduras in the 1960s to advertise their Persian King Rajah cigar line. The sign is a paper print that's been applied to a plywood backing with hinged legs that allow it to be freestanding. This cutout styled sign depicts a seated camel covered with blankets and sacks of wares, presumably for sale at the bazaar, and done in muted colors.
