Old Box - RyJ Super Selectos

[Coloniales]

I have a lot of boxes, old, and very old, that I will be posting. Some even have cigars still. This one sadly not.

I cleaned this up with some distilled water. Lots of grime. Came up nicely.Estimate 1930s, sold by G Botterill & Sons, 33 Cheapside London. (no longer exists as a shop. Maybe destroyed in WW2.

Very cool Keith, and very sympathetically cleaned.  Hats off to you. 

Would be cool to see some of your collection on the thread below

Very nice!  Any details on how you cleaned them? I have a couple of old Dunhill and Davidoff boxes that need a refresh but I want to clean them without ruining them via warping, etc.
