Baseball-theme cigar tin knocks it out of the park at MorphysWritten by Auction House PR

DENVER, Pa. The 40-year collectionof antique advertising tins, signs, storedisplays and promotional itemsamassed by Chicago design execu-tives David and Marcia Hirsch made$560,000 (inclusive of 15% buyerspremium) in a Nov. 19-20 auction heldat Dan Morphys gallery in Lancaster County, Pa.

More than half of the articles offered inthe 1,520-lot sale pertained to tobacco,with as many as 500 of them associ-ated with cigars a category that hascontinued to show strength in the mar-ketplace. The auctions top lot was an

early, richly illustrated tin that once heldHome Run Cigars. As implied by itsname, the tins motif depicts baseballplayers in action on a baseball dia-mond, with a runner sliding acrosshome plate to score a run amid cloudsof dust. Described in the auction cata-log as one of few known examples,and displaying the best conditionamong those whose existence isknown, it easily surpassed its $8,000-$12,000 estimate to achieve $18,400.

Made by a different cigar manufacturer but having a similar name, a Home-Run Stogie tin from J.A. Rigby Cigar Co., of Mansfield, Ohio, featured im-ages of baseball players on both sidesand the price 3 for 5 cents. Retainingits rich sky blue, crimson and white col-oration, the near-mint tin shot past itsestimate to land at $4,600.

Yet another rarity with a baseballtheme, a Spalding Athletic Goods dou-ble-sided porcelain flange sign depict-ing the companys stitched-baseballtrademark measured 19 inches in di-ameter and was in eye-popping near-mint condition. Estimated at$3,000-$5,000, it was bid to $7,500.

A Poppy Cigar tin manufactured in Cal-ifornia was decorated with the image of a turn of the century beauty surroundedby border of red-and-yellow poppies.Described by the auction house com-panys owner and CEO Dan Morphy asa highly sought-after but rarely foundtin, it garnered a winning bid of $3,450.

Other pretty lady images that foundfavor with the crowd included a 1902diamond-shape sign for Burdena

Home Run Cigar tin with colorfulbaseball theme, one of few knownexamples, top lot of the sale at$18,400.

Broad Leaf Cigars, $3,200 (estimate$800-$1,200) and a stunning reverse-on-glass advertisement for Opia Cigarswith a mysterious veiled woman poseddramatically against stars and poppies,$2,200 (estimate $1,000-$1,500).

Another lovely feminine character wasthe brunette lady in off-the-shoulder evening attire gracing the Exquisite CutPlug Tobacco flat pocket tin from Larus& Bro., Richmond, Va. Against an esti-mate of $900-$1,200, it hammered$2,185. An elusive Columbia Domesquare-corner tin created for Cameron& Camerons Mixture No. 2 boastedcolorful graphics on all sides. It sold for $3,750.

A handsome metal with glass storecounter display for Ever-Ready Shav-ing Brushes retained 10 soap brusheswith variously colored handles, as wellas six packs of razor blades. Its die-cutmarquee included the widely identifi-able man with lathered face and razor logo. Against an estimate of $2,000-$4,000, it made $5,750.

Predicted to be one of the sales toplots, a 19th-century lithographed heavypaper sign advertising Sweet, Orr &Co. Union Made Overalls featured acartouche with the image of two teams

playing tug of war with a pair of seem-ingly indestructible denim pants. Givena generous estimate range of $4,000-$10,000 owing to its rarity, it realized$5,750.
