Independente All Havana - Tampa Florida. A George Washington cameo on an ALUMINUM box of Havana cigars. I am not sure what I should do with this. Ideas?

I don't value stuff on what it is listed on "Evilbay" to much. Try looking through Etsy and see what comes up, I can do some checking with a couple dealer friends also. It sure is pretty though, great find!
Thanks, Pat. Just tried to research it. Made by NJ Alumimum in Trenton, New Jersey. There is a box from them on ebay right now that is arguably cooler than this one and it is at $28.00 with 2 days to go. It was listed as pre 1915?!?! I would not have guessed so old. Gees, I was a little kid then.
There was another aluminum box on ebay at $58.00, but I did not like that one.

Thanks guys, Leaning toward a parts box, but it would be cool for steam punk. That is something I have not done.
That is sooo unusual! Would be a great foundation for Steampunk build!
Wouldnt want to cut into this either!!! Slide and pic holder?? :>)
Pretty good, Craig. Heading out to the shop to make some wooden teeth. May make a second set and use as a cbg saddle. Put some bite into my blues.
Thomas, I may not build with this one, but you are absolutely right;. Red would look good and better than black.
Thank you, Pickster.
yum yum !
Use a red neck Uncle John. It will fit the build better. :)>
put some wooden teeth in the box and tell everyone they're George Washington's actual teeth.
I don't think you're quite that old John :-)

I paid $12.50 for this one.
