The first is an original cartone. Cartones were advertisements used as in-store displays. They hung in storefront windows, behind cash registers, or near the items they were advertising by string woven through the top of the sign (original string still intact here).

Some light toning and several minor scuffs, primarily to the first; not examined out of frames.
