SALE 1890's Antique Victorian Black Negro CIGAR Fan Pull Sign - 1890's Chromolithograph Print Plane

Collectibles : Historical

 

This is really a neat piece of Americana. It's called a "fan pull", and was normally hung from a ceiling fan in old Victorian times. It's a grand advertisement for J. P. Alley's Hambone Cigar Sweets, and depicts an African American pilot soaring high in his plane. Below him in the graphics is the Eiffel Tower. This is a double sided image, BOTH sides have the graphics, and the colors are vivid! The edges of the lettering and the outside edge are also gilded. It still has its old hanging twine attached. This is a great example of old ephemera, and measures 7 inches in diameter. I've only had it just one time in all my years of collecting. It really is a special and rare antique, in very good to fine condition.
