A pair of impressive wall hangers are had, with these (2) non-sport tobacco silk framed displays. Dating from the 1910s, these collector favorite premiums were issued with the Zira and Nebo cigarette brands. Both of these tasteful presentations are professionally mounted, with:


S68-1 Zira Cigarettes Indian Portraits and Scenes complete set of (10). Seen in individual windows of 3 x 4-1/2", these antique silks are framed to overall dimensions of 27 x 22-3/4", with a folk art peace pipe at center. These colorful images present handsomely, with light to moderate signs of wear and soiling;


S36 Nebo/Zira Flags and Coats of Arms quilt, with (21) approximate 2-1/2 x 4-1/2" silks sewn together. Measuring 18 x 13-1/2" overall, this piece is framed to dimensions of 25-3/4 x 20-3/4". Light soiling and moderate wear are noted, including typical edge fraying; however, display appeal still flies high.
