    Description

    THIS IS A VERY RARE HUMIDOR.  A VERY SPECIAL GIFT FOR THE ULTIMATE COLLECTOR.  IT IS IN THE SHAPE OF A GERMAN BEER STEIN.  LID, HANDLE AND WORKING HINGE ARE ALL HAND CARVED.  THIS IS MADE WITH NO NAILS OF ANY METAL PARTS.  THERE IS AN ANIMAL (HORSE OR CAMEL?) ON TOP OF THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE LID.
    IT IS HAND CARVED OUT OF SOLID BURL - UNKNOWN HARDWOOD.  THE BEST UNDERSTANDING OF THE SIGNATIRE ON THE BASE THAT I CAN FIGURE OUT IS:
    PHSB
    BODY IS 6 1/2" diameter.  OVERALL height IS 9 1/4"
    THERE ARE THREE FEET ON THE BASE THAT LOOK LIKE THEY COULD BE STYLIZED LIONS.  THERE IS ANOTHER ANIMAL CARVING ON TOP OF THE LID TO BE A LION(?) ALSO.  THERE IS ANOTHER ANIMAL ON THE BASE CENTER THAT IS HARD TO DECIPHER.  IT COULD BE A RUNNING DEER or STAG.
    THIS HAS BEEN USED AS A HUMIDOR IN THE PAST AND HAS A WONDERFUL AROMA OF FINE UNBURNT TOBACCO.  THERE IS NO DAMAGE, NO REPIRS OR ANY ISSUES WITH THIS.  IT IS TRULY A ONE OF A KIND PIECE AND WOUDL MAKE A STUNNING DISPLAY PIECE.++
    I SAW A SIMILAR ONE OF THESE ON THE ANTIQUES ROADSHOW MANY YEARS AGO AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS TURKISH MADE.
    SELLING WITH NO RESERVE.  I will not be relisting this if the minimum bid is not attained - GOOD LUCK.
