Add a colorful piece of 1950s television and tobacco advertising history to your collection with this framed Philip Morris cigarette advertisement featuring legendary actress and comedian Lucille Ball.

Published during the height of I Love Lucy’s popularity, the advertisement promotes Philip Morris King Size cigarettes with the headline, “Now Millions Know! One King Size Tops ’Em All for Taste and Comfort!” Lucille Ball appears holding a cigarette and a Philip Morris package alongside the brand’s recognizable “Call for Philip Morris” advertising slogan.

The advertisement is displayed behind glass in a rustic dark-brown wooden frame. Its vibrant colors and strong Hollywood connection make it an attractive addition to a tobacciana collection, vintage advertising display, entertainment memorabilia collection, bar, office, or 1950s-themed room.

The advertisement shows visible age-related character, including a prominent vertical center fold, paper toning, discoloration, surface marks, and a small area of paper loss near the upper-right corner. The wooden frame also shows scratches, scuffs, dust, and finish wear. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.
