Lundquist of Chicago. The sign is flat but appears as a three dimensional open box of cigars. The "lid" of the cigar box features the actor Arthur Donaldson as the Prince of Pilsen the role he originated in 1903. These were apparently Havana cigars by the reference in the poem to the right of the image of Mr. Donaldson. Sitting on the table next to the actor is a box of the cigars with the repeated label image. The sign is an embossed die cut lithographed with beautiful color and nice detail. It has an upopened easel back for counter top display. It is in very nice condition with minor wear. Two of the edges have slight wear, as mentioned the cardboard standup has never been used, so it's still uncracked. It measures about 11" by 9 1/4" at the widest portion.  Also has the L I P & B A Union label on the box (Lithographers International Protective and Beneficial Association of the United States and Canada" Great early tobacco / cigar sign!  Listed in guides for $100 take advantage of the Buy It Now price at half that!
