Item Description
2.25 tall silvered brass w/cello wrap that carries W&H 1905 patent date on the side panel. We believe this and next related items are our first from "A.T." and both specify "Nogales". Arizona gained statehood in 1912. Where the ends of the  cello wrap meet, on the right side edge,  there is a hairline of non-original and clear glue the length of the seam. Visually a very minor defect. Front has stock W&H image of woman, back panel shows tobacco leaves plus our title text and sides read "Compliments Of /Two Nations Cigar Co./Nogales, A.T./plus tiny 1905 W&H patent date. Small silvering loss off bottom. Front cello has microscopic air dots in the gloss substance over the cello as made. Fine. Rare. Unique in our experience. Also see Oklahoma Territoryy pocket mirror #658 and previous related "A.T." lot, #662. Alan Weinberg Collection.
