clock advertising Mayo's Tobacco, Smoke or Chew. The Mayo Tobacco Co. was owned by P. H. May and Brothers and was located in Richmond, Virginia. This clock is in excellent original condition, and would be outstanding except for the loss through time of the gilt accenting of the raised letters in the ad. The bottom door has a textured surface similar to tobacco leaf, and with the additional information: "Smoking, Chewing, Mayo's Tobacco is Always Good, Trade Mark Reg'd Sept.1878". The original dial on this clock is virtually like new, and with a good inside label. See Maltz's book on Baird, pages 86-87. Height 30 inches
