Lot 122: Capstan Cigarettes Advertising Showcard

A countertop advertising showcard for Capstan Medium cigarettes. The printed card face features a surrealist scene depicting a large white chess rook positioned in a blue golf pull-cart on a fairway, with two golfers and a tree in the background. The upper section features a blue ground with the slogan never go without a CAPSTAN in white and dark blue lettering. An illustration of an open 20-pack of Capstan Medium cigarettes is positioned to the top right. The lower left corner includes a small circular emblem with internal lettering above a rectangular box numbered 21409. The showcard is constructed from printed card wrapped over a metal backplate with a fold-out die-cut cardboard strut and a circular hanging aperture for wall display. A small white adhesive price label is attached to the upper left of the reverse cardboard.
