An antique wooden counter-top display box for Boot Jack Plug Tobacco. The box is of rectangular form and is constructed from oak with finger-jointed corners and a hinged lid. The interior of the lid features a large yellow oval lithographed paper label with a red-dotted border, reading BOOT JACK PLUG TOBACCO COSTLIEST BECAUSE BEST. The front exterior of the box retains a partial yellow paper label reading BOOT JACK and features two metal eyelets and a partial metal latch.
