Question
Got two wooden boxes but don't know if there woth anything. Corina Larks extra mild has stickers for 15 cents copyright 1935 by jose escalante & co. Factory no. 70 Dist. LA. 50.
Next wooden box is SANTA FE KINGS PERMIT C -670- MICH. CLASS G Sticker inside says quality since 1887 KINGS 25 CENTS. Both still have locks type clips in front
In 1995 during the cigar boom the prices of these boxes were way up.
But now they are worth only $10 to $20 - more if they are extraordinary constructed boxes - thick wood with good hinges almost like a humidor. Even if they are great they are not worth that much.
Please check ebay as they are the standard for the prices. Even in the early 2000's I bought and sold boxes for $20 to $100 but that slipped away and the prices fell to nothing.
Enjoy
