RARE Meriden Repousse Silver Cigar Humidor Double Compartment Box W/ Owl Finial

Description

Meriden Repousse Silver Cigar Humidor Double Compartment Box
Offered is a Meriden Co. Silver Plated Humidor depicting a finial of an owl perched on top of an open book. This Humidor is rare and highly sought. I was only able to find another example through past sold auction history and so The workmanship is amazing in it's complexity, with a deeply embossed repousse floral design flanking the sides of the box and a contrasting abstract design at the top.
Measures - 6" high x 8 3/4" long x 5 1/2" deep.
Humidor is marked MERIDEN COMPANY #36.
This box is in good condition with signs of antique use & tarnish as pictured. It will require a thorough cleaning. I wiped it a little better than first listed, but needs considerably more polishing. Please view all photos under magnification to assess and verify condition, as I am not a qualified appraiser.
I acquired this box from the Florida estate of a long term, high end antique owl
collector. Ongoing, I will be listing list rare collection and will be glad to combine shipping for double orders.
