NORTHWEST CIGAR MFG CO CIGAR BOX

Roosters purchased a neat cigar box that was distributed by The Northwest Cigar Mfg Co. out of Detroit, MI. Very little is known about this company. It was owned by Frank M Roach from 1894 until at least 1908. This must have been a smaller company, as I cannot find any memorabilia from the plant. The cool thing about this box is that it has a desirable label under the lid; "Compliments of the Season" by American Lithograph Co. I've found people wanting $100 for an unused label. We love old Detroit related historical items and this will eventually find it's way into the shop. SOLD
