Description

Very Rare Tiffany Studios Cigar box with the numbers on the bottom "1854" not sure if that's the year or the model number. Saw only one of these and that it only one at an auction site and the value was from $1500-$2500. I would like a more precise figure and any other information about it. If anyone knows anything about it please chime in. Thank you.
