It is hard to imagine such esteemed institutes as those of the Ivy League encouraging the use of tobacco products today, but such was not always the case as evidenced by this century-old item. This 1913 Imperial Tobacco Ivy League Stoneware Humidor Cube Cut Jar bears the flags of the four Ivy League schools on front: Yale, Harvard, Cornell and Princeton. The back has the words "Imperial CUBE CUT," and it stands 7" tall and is 5.5" in diameter without the separate lid, which has the year "1913" encircled on the top. The jar is in excellent clean condition, no chips or cracks.
