Stonewall Jackson Cigars Flange Sign

Made in Canada. 1890s. Double-sided porcelain (DSP). Cigar manufacturers of this era bundled cigars with colourful silk ribbons as a method of distinguishing the brand. Stonewall Jackson cigars used a yellow ribbon, which is discretely seen on the mouth end of the cigar image featured on this sign. Yellow ribbons have deep cultural ties to American military history. Confederate general Thomas Stonewall Jackson was highly popular in post-civil war America. The Civil War imagery of the yellow ribbon was likely intended as a salute to Jackson, as well as a hallmark of quality. The sign was produced by Norman McLaren in Montreal. Original advertisement for Norman McLaren from the 1899 Canadian Druggist Book, shown in the photos. Also included is an original 1900 advertisement showing the Stonewall Jackson Cigar Factory in Montreal. Marked, "NORMAN W. MCLAREN", lower right.
