19th Century Cigar Box

It appears to be 19th century based on the image inside the box. At first I thought it might be Cuban, but "baseball" is spelled in english on the topside of the box. It measures approximently 5"X 5.5" by 11" long. <br /><br />Sorry for the poor photo quality, my photoshop was accidently deleted so I can't process photos. It's a really sharp looking box!<br /><br />Any ideas on value or origin?<br /><br />Thanks in advance for any and all opinions. <br /><br />Regards,<br />Nick<br /><br />I also inadvertantly included some more pictures of it in a photo show, there are four other misc. pictures before the box pictures. Nevertheless, these are better images:<br /><a href="http://www.photoshow.net/scripts_main/build/player.php?show=lFIHqGAae" target=_new><a href="http://www.photoshow.net/scripts_main/build/player.php?show=lFIHqGAae</a" target=_new>http://www.photoshow.net/scripts_main/build/player.php?show=lFIHqGAae</a</a>><br /><br />Please register for a free auction catalog: <a href="http://www.americanmemorabilia.com/Default.asp" target=_new><a href="http://www.americanmemorabilia.com/Default.asp</a" target=_new>http://www.americanmemorabilia.com/Default.asp</a</a>>

Posted By: <b>Jason</b><p>Hi Nick, <br /><br />This exact same box recently sold on e-bay for around $500 (I think). The guy selling it then said it came from Boston and depicted Philadelphia vs. Boston on the English tour of 1874. Hope this helps!<br /><br />Jason<br />
