Smoke by Mark Twain
More Smoking
More Note Cards
More Ducks
What a fun card for your smoking friends! This 5 by 7 inch blank note card arrives with a brightly colored envelope. Printed in on 10% post consumer waste paper, the front text reads:
'If I cannot smoke in heaven then I shall not go.'Mark Twain
Artist Simon Drew of the UK has also illustrated the back of the card with another lovely duck sticking his head up through a cloud of smoke. It reads:
A Woolley Ode
Carefree and aimless a runner duck appeared, righteous pure and blameless others thought it weird. Leaving in a puff of smoke it never said a word never did explain the joke - elusive irksome bird.

Art Postcard - Alfred Hitchcock - The Birds, 1962
Photographer Phillipe Halsman certainly captured the essence of Hitchcock: always scary, a bit playful and unpredictable. From the film that even makes crow-lovers quiver, 1962's The Birds, this publicity still makes us smile and shiver at once!

Anti-Tobacco Smoke Candle
More Candles
More Smoking/No Smoking
The natural fragrances in the Anti-Tobacco Smoke Candle are scientifically formulated to neutralize the unpleasant odor of fresh and stale tobacco smoke. Spicy essential oils (Nutmeg and Cinnamon) combat the mal-odor molecules while the oils of Orange and Apple impart a crisp freshness to your home. This candle works best when used in a draft-free room for a minimum of one hour.
Do not leave burning candles unattended. Always burn on a non-flammable surface. The candle measures 3-3/4 inches high by 2-3/8 inch in diameter.

Old-Time Smoking Sailor Nodder

Today's kids may think of him as a "bobblehead" but we like the old-fashioned name of nodder. Put him on your table or in any display for smiles from everyone!

Small Cigarette Smoker Edwardian Reproduction Paper Mask
More Masks More Hallowe'en
From about 1901 (right after the Victorian period) up to about 1910, or even as late as 1918 (after World War I), British society suffered a very rigid system, despite the new philosophies and politics floating about. The want (and need) for more liberal thought and a move for greater social acceptance of all British started despite the seemingly unmovable morés at the time.
The Edwardian Period was also known as the Belle Époque (Beautiful Era), a time for elegant masquerade balls with gorgeous gowns and absurd masks such as this, our Jester Cigarette Smoker.
The mask arrives flat and is simple to wear with black ribbon on either side for securing your mask. It measures about 10-1/2 inches.

Donkey Cigarette Dispenser (aka Smoking Donkey)
More Smoking Stuff
We'd like to tell you that this is the latest in smoking accessories, but we remember these from years ago (many years ago). After you store your favorite smokes (or, indeed, fake cigs) in this delightful donkey's backpack, when you're ready to light one up (or pretend to!), just press his ears down and he'll dispense a cigarette from his derrière.
The little fellow measures 7-1/2 inches long by 5 inches tall and is made from shiny and cheerful plastic! We know he's a bit crude, but we couldn't resist! You can fit about 25 cigarettes and comes in an illustrated window box.
As seen on the Ellen Degeneres Show!

Haven't we all had them? A few (or more) odd moments in life!? This vintage label might be just what you need for the perfect scrapbooking page - when no other label works!

Fake Puff Cigarettes
Startle your smoking friends when you "light up" one of these! Enjoy the shock on their faces! Don't worry these don't really burn. But, they look real (even with a bit of permanent ash on the end!)
Just blow (that's right, don't inhale!) a little more than slightly and the ashes on the end glow with a bit of red as fake smoke swirls from the end. These are harmless, but we suggest that you not let children play with them.
Perfect for that Humphrey Bogart costume or any other requiring a smoke, you're sure to get some laughs (or groans) from these!

Day of the Dead Vignette - Poker Game
Drinking, smoking and playing poker - we'd say these fellows are having a boy's night out. This great little duo and their table may tell many tales and make a unique addition to any Day of the Dead ofrenda or display.
Just like the rest of our Day of the Dead Figurines, each of these Muertos is hand sculpted and painted by traditional artisans in Mexico. Each set is different - with suit color, position and table differing slightly. The set height is about 3 inches and arrives in 3 pieces (2 gamblers and the table). Please let SilverCrow choose a set for you.

Spiritual Entreaty Ashtray
Now we know this is irreverent, but the entreaty is excellent, all the same. Our heavy glass ashtray should easily affront the guilt of any smoker. The urgent warning, JESUS HATES IT WHEN YOU SMOKE is displayed with a picture. We tried it on a few hard-to-quit smokers, and each of them didn't smoke - at least near this ashtray.
The picture is on the reverse of the glass, so the image will not be tarnished if anyone dare use this ashtray.

Smoking Monkey
Babies Shouldn't Smoke Either
Now we know that real monkeys should never smoke! But our little (2-inches tall) ceramic fellow isn't a real monkey - whew! So ex-cigarette smokers can vicariously enjoy each of his puffs.
Each monkey comes with a pack of ten Li’l Smokes and he has another one in his mouth, ready to light up and smoke. The smokes are actually non-toxic, unscented incense wrapped in paper.
Refills are available, too! So, he won't have to borrow the keys to your car so he can run out in the middle of the night for a new pack! Because, real monkeys should never drive either!
Price: $5.75
Metal Sliding Match-Box
This small (2-1/4-inch by 1-5/8-inch) Metal Box was originally designed to be an ashtray. It even has a pop-out cigarette holder in the slide out-tray. This holder can easily be removed, so that you end up with a great little metal match-box that you can use as the container for a miniature shrine, or a unique gift.
The boxes are silk-screened with different images that can be easily covered in paper or with permanent inks. Just imagine the possibilities!

Old-Time Cigar Labels in Full Color
In the first decades of the 20th century, the labels that graced cigar boxes were often miniature works of art. Admired for their fine detail, superb design and decorative flourishes, the labels encompassed a wide range of artistic vignettes. Among them were lovely ladies adorning boxes of such brands as Brunette, First Blush, Blue Belle, La Coqueta and Madame Butterfly; portraits of Tom Mix, Walt Whitman, Sherlock Holmes and other celebrities; as well as illustrations of cowboys, sailors, gentlemen in evening wear. Bedouins on horseback, dogs, eagles, racehorses and other images.
For this volume, Dover's Carol Belanger Grafton has selected 89 of these rare, full-color designs. Not only are they masterpieces of early commercial art, they also lend themselves to a variety of art and craft applications. Commercial artists and designers will find this collection a superb sourcebook of copyright-free period graphics that can easily be reproduced on a color copier. Collagists, decoupeurs and other craftspeople will want to add this book to their design libraries, while nostalgia enthusiasts will delight in the charms of advertising art from bygone days.
The 24 plates (89 full-color designs) are printed on one side only for convenient use.

Art Postcard - Bad Habits
Well, now, when did this ornery little feline decide to pickup smoking? Guess those TV commercials didn't convince him of the dangers of this bad habit.
This tongue-in-cheek image is by Stella Marrs, known for her cheeky portrayal of contemporary subjects with vintage and new images!
The caption is fitting for all cats:
to make your cat stop undesirable behavior, squirt with a water pistol, firmly saying "No."

Smoking Baby
Monkeys Shouldn't Smoke Either
Of all the things that shouldn’t smoke, babies are at the top of the list. SilverCrow's position on this issue: Real Babies Should Never Smoke! Of course!
Ceramic babies smoking, on the other hand, are strangely appealing. Celebrate this absurd juxtaposition with one of these 2-3/4 inch tall ceramic babies. Each sweet (?) little infant comes with a pack of ten Li’l Smokes and has another one in its mouth, ready to light up and puff. The smokes are actually nontoxic, unscented incense wrapped in paper.
Refills are available, too! So, he won't have to borrow the keys to your car so he can run out in the middle of the night for a new pack! Because, real babies should never drive either!
Choice: $5.75 each
Miniature Smoking Cigarettes
You don’t want to have to run down to the corner store at 3 in the morning when your Smoking Baby or Smoking Monkey is out of smokes, so keep some of these little cigs handy. These tiny cigarettes are nontoxic, unscented incense wrapped in paper and contain no tobacco. Each measures about 1-3/8 inch long by 1/16 inch wide. You can also cut them in half if you are in need of even tinier cigarettes.
5 cigarettes are pictured for illustration only.

Of course, without cynicism, perhaps some will think that smoking really is cool!

Vintage Cigarette Cards
Just like bubble gum (baseball) cards and other collectible cards, cards inserted into cigarette packs were collected from the end of the 19th century through the beginning of World War II. Usually they were issued in series and people would trade or collect them. On the front, you'll usually find a vivid pictures - usually a print or painting, but sometimes a photographic image. The flip-side would describe the front (and sometimes the other cards in the series) and indicate the advertiser and sometimes the artist.
Because they were created specifically to be collected, the manufacturers and printers chose appealing subjects: movie stars, royalty, circus animals, birds, airplanes, trees, butterflies, and more. Some people, in fact, purchased the cigarettes for the cards even though they didn't smoke!
Most cigarette trading cards are about 2-3/4 inches by 1-1/2 inches printed on card-weight paper, making them the perfect addition to your artwork. Our package contains an assortment of 10 assorted cards printed in vivid color, watercolor-like hues, sepia-tone or black and white. Glue one to a small piece of cardstock to make a special gift tag or doll-house poster! We're sure you'll find many uses for these wonderful cards!
