1874 Wambach-Printed Strawberry Tobacco Label with Text Box.

One of the most famous and strange 19th century labels, printed by Fred. 
Wambach for “The Strawberry”, made from Connecticut seed tobacco. Even 
if the two mice pulling a miniature circus wagon driven by a 
cigar-chomping top-hatted gnome don’t strike you as juuuust a little 
odd, the giant strawberry and pony-tailed monkey hanging on for dear 
life might. This is the very uncommon full version of the label, rarely 
seen, with the text box above the image.  About 5”x6.5”. Minor soil, 
light wear.  [46810]  $400
