About the Item
A very good early 20th century standing cigar humidor / smokers stand & bookshelf in oak by The Ferguson Brothers Manufacturing Company, who were located in Hoboken New Jersey from 1900 until they closed in 1945.
The stained oak case having a hinged lid decorated with a carved diamond shaped lozenge, opening to its original white porcelain or milk glass lined interior with cedar trim, and retains its original lock mechanism (key absent).
The interior dimensions of the humidor measure 6" high x 10.25" wide x 6.5/8" deep (front to back).
According to an illustrated online archival Ferguson catalogue, apparently there was originally a 'moistener pad' (now absent) which was held in place by 2 metal clips located on the interior.
The base features a unique revolving drawer housing its original marbleized painted glass ashtray & twin plated cigar rests, and which is designed to stop in the open position by means of a small sprung bead. (It is important not to force the drawer open beyond the 'stop position' or it will be difficult to re-set).
Raised overall upon twin carved supports braced by a V shaped book rack, the underside retaining it's original metal factory plaque, noting model No. 4446.
The overall width & depth dimensions reflect those measurements taken at the base.
In very good overall condition, and priced competitively in comparison to similar examples in the marketplace.
