Fabulous all-original wood display cabinet is one of a rare breed from the famed tobacco company. "1760 P. Lorillard & Co. 1883" is artfully inlaid to the crown molding. Measures 43x34x18"; resplendent Mint glass windows on doors are etched "Lorillard's Tin Tag Plug Tobacco." Two sliding drawers below with original knobs. Hinges, knobs, keyholes are masterpieces of metalwork. This dignified antique represents the finest in 19th century craftsmanship. Of special interest to collectors of tobacco cards, as P. Lorillard was one of the first companies to issue them. This is perfect for the cigar smoker, as it is also a state of the art antique humidor that can hold an untold number of cigars and cigar boxes.
