Paper bag advertising M. Georg Püschmann’s “first specialist store” for tobacco in Neukirchen im Erzgebirge, Saxony.

While “Gute Zigarren” at the top is lettering, the remaining six lines are set in six different fonts from four typefaces: Inserat-Grotesk schmal (with thick-thin underline), Bernhard-Antiqua, two weights of Säculum, and two sizes of a yet unidentified bold and rather wide Grotesk.

The design is undated, but based on the release dates of the identified typefaces, it must be from after 1911.
