Plantista Cigars Cardboard Advertisement - Early 1900s Compeer Cigar Co. Indianapolis

Description

 We found this sign in the basement of the building we are renovating.  The building was build in 1896 by Denver Druggist Frank M. Hall.  He ran his pharmacy there and I can only imagine that this sign hung there at one time before being tucked away in the basement for nearly a century.  I am wondering if it is worth restoring.

History
We found it in the basement of a building we are renovating in Denver. It was built in 1896 by Frank M. Hall a druggist who housed his pharmacy there, I imagine he displayed this sign in his store. We also found signs for Mennens Borated Talcum and SSS for the Blood. I guess the condition is fair to good, the colors are brilliant because its been in a basement for so long, but it is also quite dirty and has nail holes in it.. I would love to know if it is worth restoring.
