Description :
This vintage ceramic tile commemorates the 100th anniversary of The Higbee Company, featuring a black-and-white illustrated depiction of the original Hower & Higbee storefront and tower.

Made as a decorative or souvenir tile, it was produced in England and retains its original glossy finish with light surface wear consistent with age.
