Item:
Vintage Tobacco Box
Description:
Recently I did a private "pick" from the belongings of a woman's husband who passed.  He was NOT a cigar smoker (she made a point of stressing that to me!) but a pipe smoker.  For Sale is one of his
Pipe Tobacco Storage Boxes
that he used.  She called it a "humidor" but obviously it doesn't really live up to that word having no temp control nor completely air tight.   What I do know about this box is that it dates
Pre-1970
and the lid is lined with White Milk Glass.  There is a blank brass placard inlaid on the lids exterior.  It is close to be a perfect square/cube but it is not exact dimensions on sides.  It stands
6 1/4" tall x 5 3/4" Wide x 5 3/4" Deep and weighs 2 Pounds.
The inside dimensions are 4.5" x 4.5" x 4 3/4"T.  I have to assume the interior wood is a type of cedar.  I surely may be wrong though.  The exterior wood unfortunately I am not certain about neither.  My best semi-educated guess is a type of hard Mahogany or Walnut.  As you can see, the lid is hinged.  Inside the box is the sweet smell of decades of tobacco.   Only the inside lid is lined with milk glass.   I am sure my photos will best further describe this item.
As I mention above, I don't know the maker of this box.  But, perhaps the blank rectangular brass placard in the lid is a hint to whom made this?
Condition:
On a scale of 1 - 10 (Ten being New in Package Only), I can confidently grade this item's condition to be a
solid 8.
Overall and Especially for being 45+ Years Old and Perhaps MUCH older, this Small Cube Tobacco Storage Box is in
Excellent Original
Condition with only very superficial signs of wear such as tiny sporadic nicks in the wood for example.  The underside is lined with a felt but most of that is wearing away.  Milk Glass has ZERO Cracks/Chips.  My photos are an accurate depiction of this item's
TRUE
Condition.
