THE MUSEUM
    The entire Museum is for sale. It would be great if it could be kept together and things put on public view.  I’m getting along in years and “Breaking Up is Hard To Do” takes on new meaning when I walk through the rooms filled with thousands of rare items that would be impossible to assemble today.
    Figures, boxes, and paper may be sold separately. Payment now. I’d ship the figures now, most boxes now, full possession of books and paper ephemera upon my death since I need them to keep adding Exhibits to the Museum. My best guess is there are about 20,000 items, much of that in paper.  
 
BOXES
    I’m out of room so hundreds of cigar boxes are for sale.
I bought a lot of boxes because of their historical significance, boxes that I thought should be documented. More than half have been cataloged and photographed. Time for them to have a new home.  I bought auction lots and collections that contained a goodly number of things I didn’t want. Time for them to have a new home. Chuck Tuthill bequeathed me a few hundred boxes. Time for them to have a new home.
 
AN EXHIBIT YOU’D LIKE TO BUY
    If you see something in the Museum that you’d like to own, you can inquire. Please give the item’s catalog number if I included it [4 or 5 digits in brackets] or a good description including the exhibit in which you saw it.

    You may order a TIF high res copy of any historic photo in any exhibit. Many of the photos you see have been enhanced after they were converted to jpg for web exhibit. You will receive undoctored copies of the original. Any photo may be ordered. $30 for first image, less for additional images ordered and shipped electronically at the same time. Photos shipped on disk are more. Order by catalog number in [brackets].

OTHER TOBACCIANA
    Over time I had passing fancies with other tobacciana, including 100+ ashtrays and 100’s of premium flannels and satins.  I also bought a handful of figures, cutters and lighters, and other things that I wanted to show you because they were part of cigar history. They need a new home.
 
MUSEUM ATTIC
    Over 55 years, 30+ addresses and a goodly number of careers, I’ve accumulated a weird bunch of stuff that needs a new home. For example, as a journalist, I interviewed a professional reporter who supported herself while in UCLA by writing the one serious article in each issue that allowed early girlie magazines to claim redeeming social importance. When she retired she passed on 100 or so of her articles, each in a pristine office copy of 1960’s & 70’s girlie publications by pushy pioneer pin-up publisher Parliament. They need a new home. $10 ea (graphic, available only to those over 18).
