Black Cat Cigarettes Tin Sign 30cm x 40cm (12" x 16")

Vintage Advertising Tin Sign: Take a trip down memory lane with this nostalgic tin sign featuring Black Cat tobacco of Carreras Tobacco Company. Black Cat cigarettes were one of the first tailor made smokes manufactured in Britain and although they sold all over the world, the brand name holds a humble origin. The shop which sold the cigarettes in London housed a black cat in the window which customers soon began to associate with the shop. After a while the shop owner, Don José, adopted the name for the cigarettes. This wonderful vintage advertising tin sign shows an adorable black cat as he peers over a counter strewn with the branded smokes. A wonderful piece of nostalgic art for your home.
