RARE ANTIQUE WILKE PORCELAIN TILE CIGAR CASE SAFE BOX HUMIDOR KEY - ANDERSON IND

Description

Up for Sale is a Very Rare Porcelain Cigar Case/Humidor Made by the Wilke Mfg. Co.
The humidor is a Very Early 1900's Piece. The Wilke Mfg. Co. was in business from 1897 - 1905. They made Refrigerator's mainly but also made these Cigar Boxes.
For Being Over 100 Years Old this is in Good Condition. You can tell it has been used. It has a Couple of Cracks in the tiles and also some crazing. The wood on the inside and on the bottom is cherry.
On the case there is a label that reads - “Porcelain Cigar Case, Pat. Applied For, Made by Wilke Mfg. Co., Anderson Ind.”
The case measures approx. - 12” Tall by 12” Wide by 14” Deep.
The original key to the lock is original and included but doesn’t turn the lock. I did not want to force but believe it could be fixed. Handle seals the door tightly.
These were only for the Rich but High End Hotels also used them to keep cigars for their Wealthy Guests. It's built really sturdy.
These Cigar Cases are Very Rare and Highly Collectible. They Don't come up for Sale very often. It's a must have for the Serious Tobacciana Collector.
