Questions about an old box?
Hi, I am hoping to get some information on an old cigar
box I was given by a friend about 10 years ago. It came from his grandmother's home in her estate. On it it says. Top of box: Brooks & Co. Coronas Exceptional Quality Very Mild Beware Of Imitations T. E. Brooks & Co. Front Of Box: Coronas Cellophaned Small Box On Front: The cigars herein contained wee manufactured retail at not more that five cents and are so tax paid Sides of box: boite nature (in 1/2 inch letters) Bottom of box: Factory No. 160 1st Dist. PA. 50 Factory No. 160 !st Distrist State Of Pennsylvania NOTICE: The manufacturers of the cigars herein contained have compelled with all the requirements of law, every person is cautioned not to use either this box for cigars again, or the stamp thereon again, nor to remove the contents of this box without destroying said stamp under the penalties provided by law in such cases. ![]() ![]() ![]() From the pictures, you can see that the box itself is in really nice shape, but the original hinges were frozen with rust and could not be freed, so I carefully replaced them with new brass hinges. First question is is this box worth anything? Second, if not I was wondering if it would make a suitable humidor if I added the equipment? I did the Jr.'s University test of putting a light inside and closing the box in a dark room to test the seal and no light escaped. What do you all think? Keep...sell....or humidor? Thanks
