VERY RARE c.1856-1890 CONGRESS TOBACCO EMBOSSED SIGN R.A.PATTERSON VIRGINIA An amazing, authentic embossed sign. After extensive research, no references regarding this sign can be found (by us) anywhere on the internet. Congress Tobacco, was a product of R.A.Patterson, Virginia. Congress Tobacco was sold in Australia pre-1900. An ad for 'Congress Tobacco' appears in The Colac Herald, Friday 3rd January 1896, and I have no references to it in Australia after that. Probably an American made sign for an Australian market. It was found being used as the backing in an old photo frame. All the elements of the sign are embossed. The Gold 'Congress' and the bottom text are a gold, almost metallic print. The two illustrations of the tobacco are textured, like a very fine grit sandpaper. The US eagle on the flag is also embossed. The edges of the sign look to have had paper attached, and has been carefully removed. Some small chips and marks on the brown coloured edges. The sign is made from a VERY rigid card. I initially thought it was a plywood, as it presents as such. But judging from the sides, you can see it is a multi-layered card. Overall condition is excellent. Some very minor marks, but no damage, scratches or overt blemishes. 365mm wide x 252mm tall Weight 88g unpackaged. Any questions please ask. Please look at the photos, they form part of the description, and describe it better than words. ________________________________________________________________ • For more information regarding this item, please message us through eBay.
