Virgina Brights and Allen & Ginter cabinet cards

[zrickkid]

Picked these up today. Any help on scarcity and value would be appreciated. One of the sailing cabinets has the boat name "Clara" in quotes on the bottom. I'm thinking it may have been related to the Americas Cup yacht races?

Send a PM to 1880nonsports and ask him. I'm sure he's got the information you're looking for, if he doesn't see this thread first.

what do you actually need to know? They look very nice. I have quite a few of these and I'm interested if you're looking to sell. hmoses2@comcast.net. Happy to help with information even if you don't want to sell them............
I guess Swarmee my front man - I need to pay him more :-)

I am looking to sell. I just am unsure of value or what to ask. A number of guys were interested.

Hi Ricky. The two cabinets of the female cigarette makers are worth more than other two and are highly collectible.

Although they do pop up from time to time via auction they are tough.

Researching the words "Virginia Brights Cigarette maker cabinet" in Google should find you some comps to refer to. Good luck, they are great!

Ricky......the cabinets are collectible. I generally have 2-3 of them in my nonsports auctions which I do 3 times a year. Have one coming up in October. You're welcome to consign them if you want to at zero cost to you. Here's a link for what one of the cigarette making girls sold for:


https://auctions.vintagenonsports.co...inventoryid=25

The auction is located at:

https://auctions.vintagenonsports.com/Catalog.aspx

I'd probably start the ships at $100 each and the Cigar Girls at $200-$250 each.
They look nice and clean.......
Congrats on the pickup......
