Long Description
Tuxedo Tobacco sign. The sign is two heavy wooden pieces held together with a rusted metal hinge on the back. The sign reads "Tuxedo" on the top plank, while the bottom one says "The Perfect Tobacco for Pipe and Cigarette". The piece appears to be genuinly very old and not recondtioned or anything to fake an old apperance. Just wondering if anyone out there can give me an idea about the value, I havent been able to find anything comperable online. Thanks!
History
I know that Tuxedo Tobacco was a popular tobacco brand in major league baseball and just in general in the early 1900's.
