    Any ideas about when this lithographed cardboard sign dates to? My best guess would be late 1800’s but research hasn’t turned up anything similar.

    Thanks! I found an ad from early 1881 that shows identical-looking biscuits, and uses the same “by appointment” boast, so perhaps the sign dates to around the same time.

    WAG, I would guess 1930s when the Thin Man movies with Asta were being made.
