Condition
Overall very good condition. The oak and copper surfaces appear to retain their original finish and patina. The copper surfaces with occasional minor surface scratches, abrasions, rubbing to the patina, and discolorations consistent with age and very gentle use. The copper surfaces with a few very minor traces of oxidation. The oak surfaces with occasional minor surface scratches, abrasions and minor discolorations. The humidor retains its original wood lining which is in excellent condition. An exceedingly rare example with great boldness and visual presence in beautiful original condition.
