Great box Michael.
Is there a date on the tax stamp?

Thanks! I will check as soon as I receive the box. It was described as 1883 so I'm thinking that's where this date came from.

Slowly but surely, I'm still plugging the holes in my collection. Here's a new one.

I just received the box yesterday. I believe the tax stamp is dated March 3 1883. Is that of any particular significance?
Thank you
Michael

I'm not sure if the stamps had the actual date, or a copyrighted date that was in use until the next updated copyright. I'm sure there are others on here who would know better.
If the box is from 1883, I think that's one of the earlier baseball cigar boxes you'll find.
Again, great item!
If you're ever interested in selling or maybe trading... Please let me know.

Michael-

Great box. I also have a Home Run cigar box with some different graphics. Although a few proofs of this label exist, I believe this is the only complete cigar box known. It, too, is dated 1883 (see photos below).

Brent and Jon,
Thanks for the kind words on the cigar box. Fantastic box you have yourself there Jon. Like I believe I mentioned earlier, cigar boxes are new territory for me and liking the action scene, am glad I pursued this one. You guys understand the rarity of these better than I do but the only one I could find through a quick google search was of this exact box someone previously pinned on pinterest.
