This original Kinsmen outer box label is a vintage chromolithograph from the 1930s–1940s, maker unknown. Vibrant yellow, red, green, and gold tones. Intricate blue floral swirls. And at the center, a symbolic handshake — the universal gesture of brotherhood, trust, and mutual respect. The Kinsmen brand clearly understood its customer: a man who wanted something that said something about the kind of man he was. The embossing and gilding are exceptional, the colors remain vivid, and the overall effect is rich, warm, and thoroughly of its moment. Two available.

Frame it for a study, a library, a bar, or a man cave. At 4.5 inches square it fits a standard 5x5 or 6x6 frame.

A wonderful gift for a tobacciana collector, a fraternal organization enthusiast, or anyone who appreciates the golden age of American commercial lithography.
