the precludes imitation."

Black printing, on clear plastic lid:
"FINE TOBACCO PRODUCTS"
"HOUSE OF EDGEWORTH"
"SINCE 1877"
Condition:
Clear lid has discolored very slightly from age, but has NO cracks, is still flexible and holds well. Pull-away metal lid is still perfect and factory fresh looking, except for an unusual little white blemish or rub that is not removable. Painted side has several little tiny blemishes. Plated tin base is lightly discolored, with a few very small oxidation spots, one distinct area, as well as around the perimeter there. Interior moisture levels are unknown, of course.
Very nice and unique display piece as a whole, or ready to be cracked open and enjoyed!
