My son and I helped a dear high school friend move yesterday. Lots of 50-60 year old heavy furniture, including a huge china cabinet that I think my back will be feeling for the next week or so. Among the smaller pieces was this gem. The top has a some scratches and water-rings from general end-table use. She says it was her grandfather's. Her son (I guess he may be 10 or so), has been using it to stash his "important stuff" in. She says it hasn't held cigars in over 40 years. Surprisingly enough, after all those years, I could still detect a faint cigar aroma from the humidifier. She told me if it hadn't been a family heirloom, she'd have given it to me.
