Wooden Cigar Box

I have a wooden cigar box and am wondering if anyone can tell me
anything about it.

Almost every industry has an association, and they usually keep
historical records and even have a museum. I'll bet there's an outfit
with a name something like 'Tobacco Institute." Google around till
you find it; folks there can probably answer your question.

I have a wooden cigar box and am wondering if anyone can tell me
anything about it. The front says "Wilbur Wrights" across a picture of
a cloud, the Wright Flyer and the Spirit fo St Louis. It's marked on
the bottom with "Factory No. 495 - 1st Dist., Ohio - 50" Also says
"Claro." On the front it says, "Pilot," and there is a notice about
the cigars being, "manufactured to retail for more than eight and not
more than fifteen cents." I have pictures at

Because I fly, I envy no one.

Thanks. I am exploring several avenues, but thought that maybe some
old pilots here may be familiar with this one with its aviation theme.

Try a Google search on "Cigar Box Collectibles" or something similar.
Some of those old, rare cigar boxes can go for real money.

E-mailed the Nationa Cigar Museum and got some good info.
