BULL DURHAM TOBACCO COUNTER DISPLAY BOX – ORIGINAL
WAXED PAPER WRAPPER INTACT – COMPLETE WITH ALL 24 BAGS
OF TOBACCO – SCARCE TOBACCO AND GENERAL STORE
COLLECTIBLE: An amazing survivor from the days
of general stores, this is a full counter top point of
sale box of “XS” Bull Durham Tobacco. The box contains
all 24 of the classic individual white cloth bags of
tobacco.
The box is in amazing condition, still retaining the
full wax paper wrapper covering all four sides and the
top and bottom. One top edge has been carefully sliced
open by some previous owner who just couldn’t stand it –
he or she had to know that the box still
contained the bags of tobacco. Although this one edge
is open, it will not spread apart sufficiently to allow
one of the bags to be removed from the box, so it is a
virtual certainty that all 24 bags are still in the
box.
There is some minor tattering to the edges of the wax
paper along the edges of the open edge, and there is
some minor shelf wear at the corners, but otherwise the
wrapper is complete and fully intact. The body of the
box, measuring 7 ¼” tall and 4 ½” by 4 ¼” square, is
intact and retains its full shape and form. All of the
printing on the sides and ends of the box are in
excellent condition and fully legible.
This is a great old American tobacco collectible in very
nice condition. (0143) $450
