This original Red Tips outer box label is an antique chromolithograph from the 1920s, produced by the Consolidated Lithographing Corporation of Brooklyn, New York. A beautiful black horse head set within a horseshoe, a riding whip beside it — the message was clear: this brand was as fine as a champion racehorse. Copies of this label circulate widely online — an original in unused NOS condition is a rare find. Consolidated Lithographing Corporation was founded in Brooklyn, New York in 1925 by Jacob A. Voice and became one of the largest printers of paper labels in America in the early 20th century.
