RARE, beautiful & large humidor or tobacco jar, hand painted with an Indian scouting or looking into the horizon with trees & mountains in the background. The humidor has the word "Tobacco" hand painted on the top. It has a brass mounted, hinged lid that works well. It still has the old looking sponge on the inside of the lid dome. There is some oxidation on the the metal areas. The inside of the humidor is opal or milk glass. For the sake of mentioning for you and me, it has some light scratches that are hardly visible. The worst one being on the dome handle of the lid. (no white glass showing through any of them) Two tiny white spots on the side that appears to have been missed when originally painted. They are not chips and cannot be felt. On the dome lid, where it meets the metal some of the white opal glass can be seen when opening & closing it because there is a little bit of play in that area. This is a beautiful piece of art work, in excellent condition. It is signed on the bottom "Decorated by J. P. Handel Meriden, CT  #89/130".  The founder of Handel Lamp Company in about 1876 and closed in 1936. The humidor will need to be cleaned. What a rare collectors piece! A perfect Holiday or Birthday present for someone special. Please view pictures and feel free to email me with any questions before bidding. U.S. bidders only please. (lower 48 states) Payment due within 5 days of auction end.
It measures 7.5 inches tall & about 6.5 inches wide. The base is 4 inches wide.
