Condition
Overall in very good condition. When viewed in person, the surfaces present with a rich russet brown hue. The surfaces with very minor shallow indentations to the edges of the cover and upper rim of the humidor, and with scattered areas of oxidation concentrated to top of the cover and the handle, not visually distracting. The interior with expected staining and oxidation consistent with age and gentle use. A strong and geometric form typical of the period.
