"CHAMPIONS" Cigar Box Outer Label: circa late 1880's - printed by O.L. Schwencke Lith. N.Y.
Boxing Image pulls from the John L. Sullivan, N28 Allen Ginter cigarette tobacco card portrait illustration.
The larger "inner" companion "Champions" label (Not Available) features a 19th Century gallery of top athletes
and celebrities of the era. These stars include New York baseball pitcher Buck Ewing, Gus Hill,
Wild West celebrity Wild Bill Cody, and world famous pugilist John L. Sullivan, etc. This collectible piece of sports and
advertising history depicts legendary athletes styled after the era's famous trading card series.
John L. Sullivan: Featured prominently on the right card, Sullivan was America's first heavyweight
boxing champion and the final heavyweight champion of the bare-knuckle boxing era.
Gus Hill: Displayed on the left card wearing a chest full of medals, Hill was a celebrated vaudeville performer and
the "Champion Club Swinger" of the world. - The center showcases an open cedar cigar box underneath a sprawling
American bald eagle, flanked by classic trophy urns and decorative laurel leaves.
