The image is extremely colorful, graphically detailed and is in near mint condition. It has been professionally framed in a very high quality solid wood frame. It measures approximately 13 inches square framed and approx 3/4 inch thick. I have two, one in a black wood frame and one in a brown wood frame. Both are pictured below. The image is approximately 8 inches across. As the glass sign is see through, when it was framed a matching cream colored matte was placed behind the sign. Offered with a very low opening bid and now reserve. The opening bid is just a little bit more than I paid to have the sign professionally custom framed! Scroll down, click enlarge for lots of photos...     I have been collecting early tobacco advertising signs for over twenty years and I have never seen this sign before. Last summer I found a bunch of these at a flea market in Adamstown PA and I've had a few of them professionally framed. Please note that I have sold the majority of these for $350, I have just lowered the price to sell the last few that I have quickly. Cyrus Cigars were produced by a small cigar factory in the Chicago area beginning just before the turn of the century. As Cyrus was a relatively small factory, advertising items from them are very scarce. This sign is 100% guaranteed vintage, though of course the framing is new. Take a look through my other items as I will be listing about thirty early tobacco crate labels including some unbelievably rare ones such as PH Mayo, High Admiral of Navies, Favorite of All Lands... Also The Triumph, The Derby, Winner Plug, Octoroon, Breva, Just The Thing, The Royal Colors, The Imperial Ruby, Britannia, Sailors Hope, Trade Mark, The International, The Nosegay...   Place a Bid!
