Seems kind of plain for what I would imagine a king's humidor to be.
Very nice for me though, not at that price however.

Not made for the King of England. I believe that is the prince's seal given to goods made in England, not made for the king of England. I hope no moron buys that under the pretense that the king ever owned it
:-)
The owner is also not accepting questions about the item.

I'm thinking of putting up some junk in the garage and saying it was once owned by someone famous. Maybe I can get a sucker to pay 250k for it.

I deal with people everyday who think they have real items that turn out to be fake. The saying "A sucker born each minute" is very true!
