For your consideration is an exceptionally rare vintage Yellow Cab 5 Cent Cigar advertising sign, a standout piece of early American advertising history. Made of tin metal and measuring approximately 20 inches wide by 6 ¾ inches tall, this sign features outstanding embossed graphics and vibrant original color. The artwork showcases an old-time policeman holding a “Go” signal, with a classic early automobile in the background-an eye-catching design that captures the spirit of early traffic control, transportation, and Americana. This is not a common sign. This piece is being offered at an exceptional value. The sign shows honest age-appropriate wear, including patina, surface scratches, minor finish loss, light corner wear, small chips, and faint creases from real-world use. These elements add authenticity and character – honest wear. Overall, the sign remains structurally solid, visually striking, and ready to display, with strong color and crisp embossed details. The reverse shows light patina but is clean and in good overall condition. Why This Sign Stands Out. Extremely hard to find example. Classic transportation & cigar advertising theme. Outstanding graphics and embossing. True Americana collectible. Excellent display presence. This piece would make a fantastic addition to any collection and an unforgettable gift for enthusiasts of vintage advertising, automobiles, cigars, traffic memorabilia, or law-enforcement history. The sign comes from a long-time collector of over who is downsizing a personal collection. Material: Tin metal. 20″ x 6 ¾ “. Origin: United States. Yellow Cab Cigar Tin Metal Sign.
