Vintage Cigar Box Collectors

Okay guys...I know that this is a 1 in a million chance at this...but does anyone have a box or know of the box in which this picture is on:

This is a picture of my great grand mother and was finally able to get my hands on it. Legend has it that this picture of her was used for a cigar box. She is originally from Canada but sounds like she may have resided in Michigan by the time this took place. I know it is a needle in a hay stack due to there being a hundred or so cigar manufacturers just in Michigan in the early 1900's but figured it was worth a shot...any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks! Nick

I suggest you get in touch with Tony Hyman at the National Cigar Museum http://www.nationalcigarmuseum.com/ If anyone on the planet can answer your question, it's Tony.

Cool! I will give it a shot! And I will definitely post a pic if I find this needle...think it would make my grandma's year if I could...

Hey Nick... I ran across a poster website that sells reprints. A few look similar, but I'm not sure... there's a lot to go through.

On page 5, there are a bunch of vintage boxes with women on them, but there appears to be a few through out all the pages.

This is probably not her but gives you a sample of what I'm finding:
