An original Wills's Capstan illuminated lightbox sign, featuring reverse painted glass panels within a metal framed cabinet.
c.1957
A charming piece of advertising memorabilia that would have been displayed outside an pub or grocers store which stocked the cigarettes. A highly collectible item for enthusiasts of tobacco memorabilia and vintage advertising.
The sign retains its period character and presents as a striking decorative piece whether displayed illuminated or unlit.
The striking mustard yellow background contrasts great with the blue writing.
The lighbox retains two hooks at the top, making it easy to display and showcase.
Its classic design make it an excellent addition to a collection, home bar, garage, man cave, restaurant, hotel or commercial display.
