**Item:** Original Vintage 1980s Marlboro Man Embossed Porcelain Enamel Metal Sign

17.5” x 21.25”

**Description:**

Up for sale is an authentic, original 1980s Marlboro Country advertising sign featuring the iconic Marlboro Man cowboy on horseback. This is a heavy-duty, industrial-grade commercial sign constructed of heavy sheet iron/steel with a thick, baked porcelain enamel finish—NOT a cheap, flat modern tin reproduction.

It features deeply stamped, raised (embossed) red "Marlboro" lettering and graphic elements. Along the reverse perimeter edges, the original factory frame-mounting "tacker" tabs are fully intact, which were originally used to lock the heavy metal sign securely into a retail storefront rack or sidewalk display frame. The mandatory Surgeon General text box is visible in the lower right corner.

**Condition:**

This sign is being sold in highly desirable, authentic "uncleaned, as-found" condition with a beautiful natural vintage patina.

* **Front:** The porcelain enamel colors and graphics remain vibrant with a nice gloss. There is expected edge wear and weathering from commercial use.

* **Reverse:** Shows normal age-staining, dust, and light oxidation appropriate for a true vintage piece.

* **Mounting Holes:** Authentic porcelain chipping (visible dark oxidized iron base metal) is present around the mounting grommets, providing excellent proof of age and genuineness. The metal is structurally sound with no deep rust-through or major warping.

Material: True heavy-gauge steel metal base with a thick, kiln-fired porcelain enamel glass coating. This is a heavy, rigid commercial grade piece—not a thin, flat modern reproduction tin sign.

Please review all photos closely as they represent the exact condition of this item.

**Shipping & Handling:**

Due to the nature of this porcelain-on-metal sign, it will be packed with extreme care using heavy bubble wrap and a sturdy box to ensure the porcelain finish does not chip further during transit.
