THE HISTORY OF MAIL POUCH Tobacco

Mail Pouch chewing Tobacco was first produced in 1879 by the Bloch Brothers Tobacco Company of Wheeling, West Virginia. The brand became a legendary staple of American landscape history through its unprecedented outdoor advertising campaign.

Starting in the late 19th century and continuing for decades, the company hired painters (most famously Harley Warrick) to paint the distinctive "Chew Mail Pouch Tobacco" advertisement on thousands of barns across the rural United States, particularly in the Midwest and Appalachian regions. These barns became designated National Historic Landmarks. Alongside barn advertisements, metal thermometer signs like this one were prominently placed outside country stores, gas stations, and hardware shops, cementing Mail Pouch as an absolute icon of vintage American advertising.

Functional & Decorative: It is not just an eye-catching piece of wall art; it features a fully working glass tube thermometer to read ambient temperatures.
The Perfect Size: Measuring 27.6" x 5.5" (70 x 14 cm), its vertical orientation makes it highly versatile—perfect for narrow wall spaces in bars, garages, man caves, porches, or living rooms.
