Rainbow Fine Cottons-Color Lithograph
Item #: NEW-007023

Click image to enlarge
|
This is a small color lithograph which was normally pasted on wooden boxes which carried the product advertised. Note on the scan the little corner which has torn off within the shrink wrap at top left hand corner. It's a shame that modern advertising does not match the beauty of the old color lithograph printing

This is a little die cut display stand which was made to fold down and stand up to advertise this product "for coughs, colds, consumption and all diseases of the throat and lungs." This quack medicine was bottled in the manner of liquor. I imagine this may have gotten them in trouble during prohibition.

This color litho die cut measures 12 inches tall. It looks like something is missing and the most likely area seems to be where he seems to be pointing and the tall item arising out of the trees. However, neither area appears to have been cut. At any rate it is a neat item. Remnants of scrap book on the backside. Normal wear but seems in overall good condition. The sign at the bottom reads "We also handle the Best of Family Liquors, Anytime You Want it."

Interesting large post card with a gangster like figure. The "black jack" sticking out of the suit, which is laid on the face of the card, is actually a folded up flyer for the P & H Rubber Collars, sold by the Sullivan and Company in Philadelphia. The back side is all messed up from being removed from an album. I've never had anything quite like this card.
