Another cool box came up recently. It's a Kopriwa which was a Chicago company c. 1900. Their humidors come up now and again and fetch good prices. They are usually relief carved and glass lined. Very nice quality humidors.
So this plain jane comes up recently, but upon closer examination, someone has done some painting on this box. It's in an impressionist style that would have been popular when the box was new. Pretty skilled hand too! Really nice, love to have it. But I'll likely abstain. I prefer them in rougher shape for less money. This one is listed at $395. Not saying it isn't worth it. I think it's pretty special. And the interior is clean and ready to go.
