Description:
This is an original antique cigar box label advertising "Manila Blunts – Very Mild", priced at 2 for 5¢ or 10 for 25¢, and boldly marked Made in U.S.A. The label features a sepia-tone lithograph of a tropical farm scene with a tobacco wagon pulled by oxen and flanked by palm trees and thatched huts—a rustic depiction linked to cigar production heritage and early 20th-century branding.
The piece is a true stone lithograph produced between 1870–1930, now mounted on museum preservation board, and includes the original Certificate of Authenticity from Missing Pieces (Vancouver, BC). The lithograph process used required individual etched stones for each color—an expensive and highly detailed printing method no longer used today.

Detailed sepia farm scene with tobacco wagon and palms
