cigar box wood
Thursday, November 19th, 2009
I have 2 very old authentic cedar Honduran cigar boxes when cigars were only 25 cents each. Price boxes?
These boxes are gorgeous, one is 6″x6″x3 1/2″, the other is 9″ across, 7″ long, and only 1 1/2″ tall. Both made entirely of cedar and have all original papers and burnt work on wood. One is Dutch Masters, the other is Baccarat. They have great brass hardware to open/close and on the hinges in back. Each held 25 cigars.
I have a neighbor who wants to buy them from me ( they were given to me from an acquaintance years ago) but I have no idea how much to sell them for. Can you help with any ideas for pricing these rare boxes? Thanks in advance:-)
The Baccarat box is no older than 30 years old – it was introduced in 1978. Not sure about the DM.
Its very difficult to price something like these as its a very small, niche market and only worth what someone is willing to pay for them.
