This is a fabulous 19th Century Continental very heavy 7 1/2 pounds ornate brass or bronze humidor box from one of the finest families in my hometown. Measures 11″ by 6″ by 3 3/4 and features birds done in an Art Nouveau or maybe an Oriental design. It snaps shut nicely. Below that looks like a lock but the box did not come with a key. Has a makers hallmark on the bottom which looks like a W. I originally thought it was Erhard & Sohne but this would not be their mark. The inside has a wooden base which had an old rubber band residue I mostly removed. The lid has its original metal insert designed to keep moisture in the box for cigars freshness. The brass or bronze patina is very nice with just a bit of tarnish from sitting around. You will love condition, craftmanship and lovely design. Very lovely in person.
