Stored safely in his garage since his grandfather bought them in 1959.

Cigarone has these in thier collection. This is the second time I've seen these on ebay in about a year.

I'm pretty sure that the ones that cigarone has is the same as these...

I tried to get them cheaper on the "Best Offer" Link. He said that he would do it for $50.00, but that's $50 I already spent on other things...

The box does look identical to the CigarOne collection, but I didn't see any type of seal on the box. I may have missed it but if there is none, how can he make the claim that it hasn't been opened in 46 years?

 

[TVST*R]

Are you certain there should be a seal?

No, not at all. I was just pointing out that in the absence of a seal you really can't make the statement that the box is unopened after nearly 50 years.

 

[TVST*R]

Good point!

I'd buy them now if anyone care to split it, just to get a look at them

They must be sealed somehow for him to make that statement. BTW did anyone notice he has 9 boxes for sale?

Also if you check his other auctions? He selling This

I hope nobody tries to use it.

Below was taken from the Ebay sale linked above . . .

Here is a great find for the EARLY CONDOM TIN COLLECTOR.

I am sure there is a HUGE market for these. Saw something like this on Antiques Roadshow

JR's had these in the vault for years and sold them out of the store in NYC, I believe. You may call them and see if they still ahve them available. They were not that expensive, if I remember correct. They are also not that good.. LMAO!

As Matt said, JR had these in their vaults for quite a time. I had the "opportunity" to smoke one at a local herf courtesy of McDubya. Flat and stale would be good words to use.

Matt is correct,they suck. The predominant flavor is mold.
