Sample
These labels never went on the cigar box. They were usually bound
in salesman sample books and used to display the various styles, artwork
and prices of the labels a particular lithographer would have for sale. The
type of information found on these sample labels would include the name
and address of the lithographer along with the prices of the various
labels that would reside on each box. Some of the sample labels were
very ornate displaying the actual end label, cigar band or the edging.
This type of label is very scarce and the majority of sample labels that
were created never went into production.
