Give-aways aren’t the only C.M.I.U. collectibles. Artifacts, remnants of their day-to-day official activities, also find homes with collectors.

    Major categories of artifacts are: signs, letterhead, correspondence, dues books, convention badges and ribbons, publications such as the Constitution and by-laws and the long-running Cigar Makers’ Official Journal. The “Blue Label” Union stamps are also artifacts, but are thoroughly covered elsewhere.

    This Exhibit is far from exhaustive, but will give you a taste of the range of items available to the alert collector.
