unknown inlaid cigar box? Pictures
« on: November 16, 2013, 01:27:04 pm »
Hi, im new to the forum. I found this cigar box the other day, the inside says "regie libano syrienne des tabacs et tombacs". I searched all over google and ebay but i couldn't come up with any information or value of this item? If anyone has any information on what this is, or what its worth i would really appreciate it!

Designed to look older than it is ( which is early to mid 20th ) A fairly well known brand in the Middle East and Egypt

It is! Unfortunately it's missing 3 inlays on the top.

Couldn`t find anything to give a price reference but this brand is pretty common !! I would say around $20. to $25. !!
