English translation: "Cigarettes - Cigarette Paper / Job / Telephone Communication / Cooking a Soft-Boiled Egg"
An interesting cigarette rolling paper advertisement with a three-minute hourglass sand timer attached to it, most likely indicating that you can roll a cigarette faster than you can boil an egg. The small board with a string to hang it indicates that it was displayed in a bar or restaurant. As always, we are open to corrections by informed customers.
