- Description
- The top of the cigar box contains the “House of Lords” logo sticker, which is red and circular with two crowns on either side of the script-style writing and a silver border running around the circumference. It appears as if someone has written on top of the sticker using the box as a support scratching the red backing to reveal the silver portion underneath. Below the sticker are the words, “By Appointment to His Excellency The Governor General” branded into the wood. Beneath the words there is a small hole in the centre and a partial fingerprint in black ink. On the bottom of the cigar box, in the centre, the words read, “50 Cigars”; “The manufacturers of the Cigars herein contained have compiled with all the requirements of the law. The following caution is to be strictly observed under the penalties provided by the Statutes of Canada.”; “1st. This package is to be opened in such a way as to break the stamp.”; “2nd. The package is not to be used again when the present contents are removed.”; “3rd. The contents are not to be removed except for immediate sale, and”; “4th. The package is empty the stamp and package must both be destroyed.” (Note: the words “must both be destroyed” seem to be underlined.) The revenue sticker contains the serial number “6-10-D BFC” and the words, “CANCEL HERE BY STAMP OR STENCIL” The front of the cigar box has a latch where the box could be fastened closed to keep the cigars fresh. In the centre there is the words, “Petit Coronas” branded in script-style writing. There are crowns on both sides of the words. There is also the word, “(CLARO)” written on the viewer right side. There is also a revenue sticker attached that extends on to the bottom of the box. In the centre on the back of the cigar box the words, “IMPERIAL TOBACCO CO. of CANADA Limited” “Sole Distributors” are branded. There are also three gold-coloured hinges spaced evenly apart , approximately 5.0 cm. (Each hinge measures 2.0 cm) The first hinge starts 3.0 cm from the edge of the cigar box. On both the viewer left and right side there are the words (in script-style writing), “House of Lords” with two crowns on either side of the writing branded into the wood. On the viewer right side there is a piece of tape that is affixed to the inside and extends to the outside. Inside the box, on the lid, there is the “House of Lords” logo sticker, which mimics the logo on the top of the box, which is red and circular with two crowns on either side of the script-style writing and a silver border running around the circumference. Underneath the sticker there are the words, “By Appointment to His Excellency The Governor General” branded into the wood. The top viewer left corner has “15¢@” written in pencil. Inside the box on the viewer right side the piece of white surgical tape that is prevalent from the viewer right side (on the outside) can be seen. This piece of surgical tape is white and has a smaller piece of gray tape underneath.
