Cuba Cigar Box Appraisal

Gardel Havana Puros Cigars Decorative Box

The item is a rectangular box, likely constructed from wood or a similar rigid material, and covered with a decorative wrap or painted finish. Its primary color scheme for the lid is black with prominent red and yellow typography and illustrations, while the sides appear to be a solid bright yellow. The lid features a striking graphic of a stylized figure, possibly a smoker, with a rose, rendered in black and yellow tones against the black background. Text on the lid includes "GARDEL", "HAVANA", "PUROS" in red letters, and "Quality Cigar Brand" in a smaller, lighter font. The top left corner of the lid has a yellow banner with "CIGARS 50" in red, upside down from the main text orientation, suggesting it might be a quantity or series numbering. Below this, there's a smaller red rose accent. The box is equipped with two silver-colored metal latches on the front, indicating it is designed to open and close securely. The overall condition appears good with no significant visible damage or wear, maintaining vibrant colors. The design evokes a vintage, possibly Cuban cigar box aesthetic, suggesting it could be a humidor, a display box for cigars, or a decorative storage box styled after traditional cigar packaging. The craftsmanship suggests a commercially produced item, designed for visual appeal and functional storage.
