This is an antique Alfred Dunhill Humidor c.1935 I am going to take it down to a box factory next time I am in Honduras and have the whole thing relined with cedar and refinished and outfit it with new humidification. I will post more pics when the project is done. Picked it up for a meesly $103.50 WHAT A STEAL!!
Oh Baby... Look What I Got At Auction

Nice score! Whats the metal object? The humidification system?
Did it come with any cigars from 1935? :lol:

Looks like porcelin (sp?) for the inside that I intend on lining with spanish cedar. The metal thing is the original humidifier. I cant image in it is in working condition so I was going to pop that off and line the inside lid with cedar so it matches. Perhaps maybe even put a magnet behind the cedar for a humidifier. I am going to restain the outside. Right now there is a plate with initials on the lid. I will pop that off and replace it with a plate with my own engraving.
I am thinking I will use this to house a box of specialty cigars from a factory or something cool. Who knows.

From a collectors standpoint it would be worth more left untouched. Thats not to say it wouldn't make a damn kewl box fixed up.

I think I am going for family heirloom on this one. I have always wanted very nice, sentimental, humidor to pass on. I remember seeing this advertisment for Davidoff Humidors and it said "Your Grandson Will Thank You". Really got me thinking.
I still wanted to bid on that just to mess with you! But, I am glad you got it. Folks, that is ALL he talked about last weekend was this Dunhill humidor!
