Old Cigar Labels & Stock Certificates

Post by Kenneth Henry »

For those of you who are afficianados of old layouts on cigar boxes, and those engraved stock certificates from days gone by, here's a link to a site that I've found to be quite interesting: It's at:

http://www.cigarboxlabels.com/

Jeff Ogden originally posted this in Letterville, but there are some interesting letterstyles and layouts on the old stock certificates. Scroll to the far right hand side of their home page and click onto the Mining Stocks or Railway stocks. The cigar box labels are also there. I found it a somewhat confusing site to navigate around in, but if you persist, there's some nice "eye candy" to view.

PS: If you double-click on the smaller preview images they will enlarge so you can see the details more clearly.
