Canadian. 1930s. Single sided tin (SST). The Black Cat logo is considered as one of the most attractive signs in advertising history. This particular sign was designed for the french market, evidenced by the french wording "elles ont meilleur gout!" that translated in english to "they taste better". The Black Cat brand was first introduced in the United Kingdom by Carreras Ltd. in 1904. The brand was named for a black cat that used to sleep in the window of the Carreras' street shop. Since the name "Carreras" seemed too difficult to pronounce, everyone referred to the store as the "black cat shop". Marked. Authenticated by The Authentication Company (TAC #400682). All items are guaranteed authentic by Miller & Miller Auctions. All purchases are eligible for delivery to the Spring Dixie Gas & Oil Show on April 10-12 2025.
