How much did you pay for it? If it was at a flea market, then its historical value is probably pretty low.  What else were you gonnna do with it? Store cigars in it?

 

I say, build away.

Today is your lucky day! I will give you 22.00 dollars for that box. Just Kidding, great find there and enjoy making it into an awesome CBG. As always measure twice and cut once.

Ooh that could be nice. Size? I love the old ones. good wood. I have a good collection of very old ones, and wouldnt hesitate to use them, but most are just a bit small.

I'll go $25

There are collectors of cigar box's and some do have a money value. You could look into it and maybe its worth more than you paid. If so sell it and buy more. But... value is in the eye of the beholder, and you are beholding it. Make a cbg if you want, it should be cool.
