Pipe smokers humidor. In the "pot style"
The Bostonian "Pot Style" humidor by the Robbins CO. of Mass. This is a big piece.

Spun and hammered 8.5x6w

The handles are used as pipe stands.

RiCO,

The humidor has a hammered "look" and the body appears to be spun on a lathe. Is there a mark on the bottom? The handles seem as if they are cast or milled brass and perhaps soldered or screwed to the base.

Actually, upon close inspection the humidor is hand hammered copper of excellent craftsmanship.
