Early 'Want Ad' Diplomaticos Wooden Graphic Cigar Box
Item #: BNT640 Our price: $45.00 |
Fun item for the collector. I cannot find another 'Want Ad' box out there. For the age, this piece is very good. Still a lot of original labeling and paper advertising. In black lettering the box shows Diplomaticos,
The Daily Advertiser ~ Want Ad, Brings Results for 5c.
There is a label that shows two makers....Simon & Mawe Co. Lincoln Neb and Joseph Weinreich Maker. Only the guys that deal in this collectible will understand but I am not knowledgeable in these things.
This also has the typical stamp-age as they were a fact of life in that era. There is a 'freshness tape' that covers some of the writings. Note the interior is clean and has the original paper labeling on the inside
of the lid. Somewhat rippled but there and still bright.
Again, a neat box for the collector or a perfect gift for the cigar smoker and hobbyist. This measures approx. 8.5" long by 4.5" tall by 5" deep.
Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. Thank you for looking!
