<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"><tr><td><em> </em></td></tr><tr> <td width="100%"> This is a rare early 1900s Handel Ware Milk Glass Tobacco Humidor. Philip Handel best known for the art glass lamps he produced at the turn of the century also produced a line of glassware and chinaware called Handel Ware which is very rare and commands high prices on today's market. Squirrels on the front of the brown to green to amber humidor with metal lid with pipe handle. It is marked on the bottom Handel Ware along with some numbers. The lid is excellent but the humidor does have some damage. There are two chips on the top edge of the humidor and some paint wear where the lid rubbed for years. This cannot be seen when the lid is on. There is also a crack down the side that comes from the larger chip and goes about 3/4 of the way down. If this were colored in it would hardly be noticable. This piece would be well worth having it professionally repaired. It would be worth about three times my asking price. It is about 7" high and the base about 5 1/2". I bought this from a person I have been buying alot of pieces from in the last few months. All the items have been stored since the 1940s when his grandmother closed her antique shop in NJ and moved to Florida. It had never been unpacked or rewrapped until he brought it in in the original 1940s newspaper. Everything I have bought has been from the mid 1800s to early 1900s. Most of it mid to late 1800s. There is absolutely no doubt about this rare and wonderful piece. </td></tr><tr> <td> </td></tr><tr> <td>Reference #: 29_21</td></tr><tr><td>Condition:Very Good</td></tr><tr><td>Year:Early 1900s</td></tr><tr><td>Title:1900S HANDEL WARE MILK GLASS TOBACCO HUMIDOR</td></tr><tr><td>Location:Titusville, Florida</td></tr></table>
