Miniature Barrel Humidor
Object/Artifact
Wooden Briggs smoking tobacco humidor in the shape of a small barrel. The lid attaches with a thin steel strip which fits into the top inside of the barrel, then into a groove thereby locking it in place. The front reads, Briggs Smoking Tobacco “When a feller needs a friend” Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. The top reads, Briggs Smoking Tobacco Aged in the Wood. Near the top rim is written Turn To Open below which is an arrow. There is a ceramic disc set in metal in the inside of the lid which says, “When Color Fades Add Cold Water” around the outside and, “Aztec U.S. Pat. Off.” near the center.
