this is a little cigar/keepsake box, it has a black lacquer finish with a vintage fox hunting picture on the top of the wooden box. where the paint is chipped a little, it appears to be a pine or cedar box. It has what appears to be a "c" hook latch on the side to keep box closed. The fox hunting picture looks like the pics painted in the early 1900s. It has one man riding a black horse in black suit coat, white pants, black boots, black top hat jumping a wooden fence. There is another man on brown horse wearing all the same but suit coat is red. They are following a bunch of hound dogs with brown and black spots. It has the cracked artwork look as well. The inside of box is painted red. Just wondering if this is authenic or a remake? if authentic how much is it worth. Thanks
