The brand name is printed in white block lettering on a dark blue rectangular field at the base. The reverse shows residue and surface loss where a support strut was previously attached.
4.5 inches x 3.75 inches.


Condition report:

Visible wear and minor losses to the die-cut edges are present at the pipe bowl and lower corners (photo 1). The lithographed surface shows light scuffing and small spots of pigment loss (photo 1).
