Rare Early 1900s Baseball-Scene Ad for Allen & Ginter Perfection Cigarettes.
Lot 12. Rare Early 1900s Baseball-Scene Ad for Allen & Ginter Perfection Cigarettes. Fabulous artwork on a 17 ¾” x 25 ¼” hard-board panel depicts the third base side of a baseball game as a vendor promotes Perfection Cigarettes. A Perfection pack toward the top of the scene indicates that the brand belonged to Allen & Ginter, which was owned by Liggett and Myers. Huge letters on the back say “Perfection Cigarettes 5 c.” It appears that there may be a right-hand panel to complement this one. Nevertheless, this scene stands alone, and displays beautifully with some scuffs, primarily along the edges and near the center fielder at the top. Wonderful display and a great conversation piece.
Winning Bid $121.
