FINE PRESENTATION RAILROAD TOBACCO HUMIDOR. The humidor in the form of an early railroad coal tender constructed of oak and nickel-plated metal, probably late 19th century. The front of the cart on both sides marked, “G. E. R”, probably some form of a presentation to some railroad executive. The lid lifts to reveal a two-compartment interior for cigarillos or tobacco together with a small metal ash tray and match receptacle. Very nicely detailed and a neat piece of railroad memorabilia. SIZE: 12-3/4″l x 7″w x 6-1/2″h. CONDITION: Generally good. The lid with numerous fragments of coal glued to the lid to simulate a pile of coal, some of which is flaked off. Otherwise, wood and metal generally in very good condition. 8-85576 (500-1,000) Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Spring 2006 Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price.
