These beautiful oversized Marburg Greenback Tobacco Advertising cabinets measure 7-1/2" x 12-1/2". They have deep black borders and typically picture a titled scene or an actress. They also have pictures of the Marburg Greenback and/or Seal of North Carolina packages on them. The backs have a good deal of advertising for the brand in black print.Marburg produced a number of "N" card sets picturing actresses and other subjects.
This cabinet pictures a pair of small children and is titled "Playing Soldier". The cabinet appears to be skinned from the thick cardboard part as it is thinner like a poster piece. It is also slightly wavy as it may have been removed from a scrapbook. Very interesting piece.
