Title: Cuban Cigar Bands Pre 1910
Post by: JeanneCurt on February 07, 2014, 09:09:20 AM

Hi Everyone,
I have a scrapbook of 100's of vintage cigar bands.  The book was made in 1910 but I am having a hard time identifying them.  Does anyone know of a good resource to help do that?  It could be a book or an online source.

Thanks much for any help.
Jeanne

There are quite a few people that are interested in the US in cigar bands.  However, more lookers than buyers.  The bands are popular in Europe.  However, I do believe over time they will have a resurgence here.

Love this article that I had found a while back:

AND read notes in this article:
