I imagine that's true. I'm more interested in having a functionally modern humidor without sacrificing the vintage look. Some of these old boxes require drastic action to make them fit for use. Then refinishing is required. Besides, the collectors seem to be more interested in the high end vintage stuff. Dunhills for instance. Some of the Sargents go pretty high too. I guess because they are some of the earliest and use some fancy patterned glass. Size seems to matter to. The larger ones being rarer.
