Colt45 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I think these would go very nicely with a zebra sofa and personal attendant..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamrandr Posted July 17, 2020 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamrandr Posted July 17, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
