Royal Poker Set / Brown Brothers Cigars, Detroit. Circa 1890s. Brown Brothers, a Detroit tobacco distributor and manufacturer, issued this set as a giveaway, perhaps as a Christmas gift to preferred customers. With four rows of German silver, brass, and copper chips in denominations of 5, 10, and 25. The lid of the box and the chips advertise “La Flor De Fontella” five-cent cigars. Lithograph label to underside of lid. With an NYCC Oriole deck (52 + Best Bower + OB), of roughly the same period but added by the consignor. Scratches and nicks to case, ink writing to inner label; overall very good. Lock, no key.
