Colt45 Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 I think these would go very nicely with a zebra sofa and personal attendant.....
teamrandr Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 That plate is a fake. The Hambone character is an interesting piece of cigar history. Even though it is clearly has racist connotations.

teamrandr Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 No problem! I found this article which was a good one to me.https://www.ferris.edu/HTMLS/news/jimcrow/question/2015/december.htm It details the origin of the story of Hambone. Basically Hambone was a satirical black cartoon character. Later used on cigar boxes. Note the cartoonishly large lips. Unfortunately in America some cigar makers used openly racist imagery to to perpetuate myths and stereotypes. 1 1
