Black_Crook_box

A terrific cigar box depicting the devil from a popular, long-running theatrical prodution, the 'Black Crook.' The devil design is even carried over to the front flap, and since these were often ripped off when the box was opened by merchants, few of the older boxes still retain them. The fact that the background is black is also somwhat unusual for a cigar box label, as the overwhelming majority of them were white.
