Large vintage Camel cigarette advertising display featuring the iconic Joe Camel character posed as a leather-jacketed biker seated on a motorcycle, with bold yellow-and-purple “CAMEL” lettering across the top. The colorful printed panel is housed in a black metal frame and retains the printed Surgeon General’s warning along the lower edge reading “Cigarette Smoke Contains Carbon Monoxide.” Dating to the late 1980s to early 1990s, the display reflects Camel’s well-known Joe Camel promotional campaign and has strong appeal as vintage tobacco and pop-culture advertising. Condition shows scattered scuffs, scratches, finish wear, oxidation and paint loss to the black metal frame, along with surface soiling, spotting, and age-related wear to the printed panel and backing. Measures 46.75" Hx 31"W.
