Original Japanese enamel advertising sign for a tobacco shop, marked with bold red, white, and blue design. The upper section reads たばこ (Tobacco), while the lower section indicates ギフト券取扱店 (Gift Voucher Dealer), along with the trade association name.

This sign dates to around 1987 (noted by the “87-03” marking at the bottom edge), placing it in the late Showa period. These signs were distributed to licensed tobacco retailers in Japan and are now collectible vintage shop memorabilia.
