Description
Vintage CARRIAGE TRADE - LUXURY SMOKING TOBACCO (1969?) Break-Away Display Box containing Six (6) 1-7/8 oz Unopened Pouches.
"FLAVORED WITH VINTAGE WINES"
"Edwin Tobacco Company
LARUS & BROTHER COMPANY, INC.
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 23217, U.S.A.
MADE IN U.S.A."
Bottom of box is stamped "3369", believed to denote 1969 packaging. Anyway, Larus went out of business in 1974!
Notes about shipping costs, AND combined shipping:
Understanding that shipping prices may be prohibitive for small dollar purchases, this countertop / shelf display set is being sold as an un-opened whole, while priced to maintain a minimum for each box or pouch of this somewhat rare item. Buyer receives original manufacturer presentation of the lot, and 11-1/4 ounces in total, for one least expensive shipping cost.
Buyers of the same name and complete shipping address, that pay for multiple won auctions in any 24-hour period, will have their items safely packaged together into one COMBINED SHIPPING box. After we notify TinBids of the shipping label that was not generated, they will combine the tracking, and refund the overage.
Condition:
Nearing sixty years old, the box has yellowed, and there is minor stock wear in a few places. The perforated line is beginning to break apart for about an inch at the top on one side, but the assembly still feels stable and tight. Packs inside have never been opened. Moisture levels are unknown, of course, but expect to re-hydrate.
Still a very nice and unique display piece as a whole, or ready to be cracked open, and each (hopefully delicious) pouch smoked!
Maintained in a temperature and moisture controlled, smoke frequented cellar.
