This vintage 1947 Chesterfield Cigarettes advertisement features Alan Hale dressed as Santa Claus in a Christmas-themed tobacco ad connected to the Warner Bros. Technicolor production My Wild Irish Rose. The ad includes classic Chesterfield branding, “Always Buy Chesterfield,” “A Hale and hearty good wish,” and the ABC slogan highlighting “Always Milder,” “Better Tasting,” and “Cooler Smoking.”
The artwork shows Alan Hale as Santa holding Chesterfield cigarette packs, making this a strong crossover collectible for tobacciana collectors, vintage advertising buyers, Christmas decor collectors, classic Hollywood memorabilia fans, and Chesterfield cigarette collectors. The red holiday design makes it especially displayable for seasonal decor, bar wall styling, cigar room decor, man cave decor, or an antique advertising collection.
The piece appears mounted or backed and protected in a clear plastic sleeve. It shows age-related wear consistent with vintage paper advertising, including paper toning, surface marks, possible edge wear, light creasing, mat/backing wear, and plastic sleeve wrinkles/reflections. The main artwork remains highly displayable.
This listing is for the vintage advertisement only. No cigarettes, tobacco, or smoking product is included.
