Item 6913
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this rare Sewer Tile Tobacco Humidor made and signed on the bottom by "C. A. Gibson, Maker, Buffalo, N.Y."
Gibson may have worked for the Buffalo Sewer Tile Company. Sewer tile art from Buffalo is virtually unheard of, and this one is even signed!
Circa 1890, this beauty is Completely Handmolded to Resemble a Hollow Tree Stump. Gibson made intricate bark as a background to which he added branch stumps and elaborate vining all around. The lid features the same bark work, three small flowers, and a knob with crosshatch. Measures 5 1/4" to the top of the lid and 4 1/2" across the base.
Very Good Condition. The edges of five leaves have chips, and there is a flat 1/2" chip on the top edge of the lid. Otherwise no other chips or any hairlines, cracks, stains, or restoration.
