    Great case Rick.
    I would've liked to have found Chionois 'Edwardian Wooden Cigarette Box with Glass Lid' for 50 Lbs-any antique tobaciana round here's very salable.
    We don't see much antique advertising or POP display here much-it's quite refreshing.

    At a guess I would say Black forest carving 19th c personalised box and then later modified? maybe Austrian? Swiss? going by the hat the figure is wearing. It is unusual though, it's not often I see a box and can't tell you much about it.

    The coronet with three ostrich feathers point to an English origin.

    I agree w/ Rave-Up- "At a guess I would say Black forest carving 19th c personalized box and then later modified? maybe Austrian? Swiss? going by the hat the figure is wearing." [/QUOTE]
