Product Description:
Immerse yourself in the allure of bygone eras with this beautiful vintage tin, infused with picturesque charm. The hinged snap-on lid reveals a masterful depiction of a breathtaking deer hunt, complete with two elegant horseback riders and a majestic pack of hounds chasing a deer. An enchanting spectacle unfolds amidst a lush landscape with trees, majestic mountains, and a peacefully flowing stream.

The sides of the tin are infused with warm reddish-brown, accentuated by gold details that impressively bring the elegance of the deer and riders to life. Even the bottom and inside radiate a golden splendor. The hinge proudly bears the inscription: "12 MB container made in GT. Britain."

This masterpiece is most likely from the renowned "LONDON" Champ, Clarck & Lugano Cigar Factories N.V. In a time when cigar making was a respected craft, skilled cigar makers were known as true artisans.

A piece of history adorns this tin, as it hails from the glory days of the cigar industry, with the Champ Clark & Lugano Sig.fabr. v/h R.H. Koning & Zn., located at Albatrosstraat 2-3 in Nieuwe Pekela from 1920 to approximately 1971. Unfortunately, the company disappeared in 1971 due to financial challenges, and a few years later, the once proud factory buildings were demolished.
