Large Blue Ball Wooden Cigar Box
"This 9 x 5 ½ x 5 cigar box has excellent advertising graphics. The underside of the lid has a registered trade mark graphic of a golfer having just swung the club with his caddy and clubhouse in the background.
Opposite him is a lady with a tennis racket. Between them is a large blue ball.
This scene is repeated via decal on one of the box ends and via ink stamp to the top of the lid.
The golfer is smartly dressed with a belted blue checkered jacket and red knickers.
This box likely held several dozen cellophaned cigars.
The box has Pennsylvania markings on it and the cigars may have been associated with or got their name from the town of Blue Ball Pennsylvania.
Regardless, this is an early circa 1900 golf advertising piece that is distinctive, one of a kind, and highly collectible.
