Gold vs Steel" -- Chromolithographed Pen Nib Advertisement

New York, New York: Aikin Lambert & Co, 1890. Very good. Light toning, light dust soiling or surface wear to front.. A comic pen nib advertisement, chromolithographed in blue and red tones. Depicts a Roman coliseum with a packed crowd cheering on a victor looming over his opponent; the victor holds a pen with Aiken Lambert brand nib, and the loser has a broken generic nib. Perhaps intended to be used as a nib box label. Measures approx. 5.75" by 4.5", verso blank.
