My rough round number guess would have been $1,000. It's a silver cigarette case, but it's also probably an award. In the olden days they used to give medals and trophies as awards, but also personal items like engraved watches, trinket boxes and silver plates. I once had an engraved silver belt buckle that was given as a tournament award, and an engraved silver trinket box given to an NBA coach. I'm no PCL historian or expert and am just offering speculation, but perhaps the team gave out engraved cigarette cases instead of championship rings.
