Comments/description: Cool design shows an early steam-powered naval battle cruiser as its central design element. Remaining portion is in very good to excellent condition, with clear colors that include bright gold and only light aging/toning of the white. Missing portion, fortunately, occurs above the brand, leaving the text completely legible and affecting just the C and S of CRUISER. Among the best examples of this rare label we have seen. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
