Fisrt the density and color in the bands, Todays printing uses mineal pigment grown from natural resources, Print prior to 30's was dye based, Much higher tendency to fad, The foil stamping and metalic ink use back then would be very suspect too. To many indicators for much later technologies, not available to the cigar maker for that period. Some need to send a pic to the cigar box museum for verification
