Peck's Bad Boy Cigars utilized the Bad Boy,
His Pa and several other characters for advertising their
cigars. As of this time I have seen blotters, cards, a
booklet and an envelope.
There were 15 different cards and 15 different blotters.
The souvenir booklet shown below includes 15 vignettes.
Each card/blotter on its reverse has a different short
tale about Peck's Bad Boy or one of the characters he
associated with.
The cards are numbered based on the order they are found
within the book. The cards and blotters have no numbers.
But I will use this numbering for displaying them.

CIGAR BOXES:
I have seen two cigar boxes that highlight
Peck’s Bad Boy.
Harris & Balkeley
I know nothing about this cigar company. Interestingly the
box has the picture on the top of the box and inside the
box of “His Pa is 'Nitiated”. This illustration is on card
#7 as seen above. It is therefore likely that these cigars
were part of the Peck’s Bad Boy card promotion. This item
is probably from the 1880's.
Peck's Bad Boy Cardinals
This box appears to be generic except for the Peck’s Bad
Boy name. “Boîte Nature” refers to the type of cedar box
the cigars came in. No date has been established.
