"Old Sports BC Cigar Factory" box - info needed
 

Has anyone seen this cigar box or others from this manufacturer before?

The label reads "Old Sports BC Cigar Factory". The seller (I passed at the $300 price tag) mentioned it was from the 1890's and from a Vancouver area company (based in New Westminster, BC).

I don't know about your box, but here is one that I have up right now that is very similar. It looks like they just moved some of the graphics around, but kept somethings the same (box in front, card game, etc), probably made by the same lithographer.
