A beautiful vintage late 19th century cigar box label made by George S. Harris of Philadelphia has incredible color images of the great John L. Sullivan (boxing), W.A. Rowe (bicycling), and Richard Sears (tennis). Magnificently preserved, sporting bold color and sharp images with virtually no flaws. No creases or tears and no staining. An oversized label measuring 4.25x4.25". Most of these have been lost to time and use. A terrific commemorative from the era when John L. Sullivan ruled the boxing world.
