    Went into a thrift store that has never produced for me before, mostly out of boredom. Saw this on a bottom shelf,
    101_1114-1.jpg

    Then looked at the inscription,

    101_1115-1.jpg

    Then at the price,

    101_1116-1.jpg

    Then finally at the base and much to my surprise!!!:cigar::cigar::cigar::cigar:

    101_1119-1.jpg

    Weighs 1 lb 2 oz or 505 grams and is right at 8 inches across at the top. Wondering if the Tiffany & Co adds anything to the value?

    I'm sure it does. Unfortunately, the inscription on the side, unless somehow it comes to the attention of someone for whom it has personal meaning, will detract.
