RARE ANTIQUE Cigar Humidors AND SIGNS
IN THE CONTINUATION OF OUR ANTIQUE SERIES WE VISIT Vintage HUMIDORS AND SIGNS. RARE ONE OF A KIND CREATIONS THAT WERE USUALLY HAND MADE. YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW THAT MOST HUMIDORS HAVE A SPANISH CEDAR AS THE INNER LINING BUT THE OUTSIDE COULD HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT KINDS OF MATERIALS INCLUDING
WOOD, Metal, LEATHER AND EVEN LIGHTING. THE SIGNS WERE USUALLY HAND PAINTED USING WOOD AND METAL AND IN SOME CASES HAD LIGHTING TOO.
AS SEEN ABOVE THIS RARE CUBAN CIGAR HUMIDOR WAS MADE IN THE EARLY 1930'S. YOU CAN SEE THE ARTIST USED WOOD INLAY AND CLEVERLY MADE A SECRET WAY OF OPENING THE KEY HOLE TO UNLOCK THE HUMIDOR.
AS SEEN HERE IMAGED BY HERITAGE AUCTIONS THERE WERE MANY CIGAR COMPANIES ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES THAT ADVERTISED THEIR BRANDS USING METAL SIGNS. WE CAN AGREE WE WOULD ALL LIKE TO HAVE THOSE PRICES BACK AGAIN!
THIS CLASSIC HUMIDOR WAS MADE FOR PIPES AND CIGARS. BEAUTIFUL CARVINGS AND METAL ACCENTS KEEP YOUR EYES OCCUPIED.
THIS TIN SIGN SOLD FR HIGH PRICE AT AUCTION. DAVY CROCKETT CIGARS WERE CIRCA LATE 1800'S.
THIS SIGNAGE WAS A COUNTER TOP TRI-FOLD OUT USED TO ADVERTISE EMILIA GARCIA CIGARS CIRCA 1940'S.
BELOW IS A DETAILED HANDMADE VINTAGE STYLED CABINET FROM "UNIQUE PIPE DISPLAY CABINETS". I COULDN'T REFUSE THE EXTREME ATTENTION TO CHARACTER GIVEN BY IT'S CREATOR. THE INLAY OF CHERRY, BIRCH AND CEDAR IS EXQUISITE. THE CLOCK IS A NICE FEATURE TOO. THE LEAF AND VINE WORK GIVES THIS CABINET A OLD WORLD LOOK AND FEEL.
