Item 29,: A huge antique humidor was acquired by me about ten years ago. The prior owner stated it came originally off a 19th century steamship on the Mississippi river somewhere near Dubuque, Iowa or Galena, IL. The style is very much "campaign furniture" which makes sense since that style was common in nautical applications and on safaris. The humidor is very tall and quite substantial, made of what I believe is Mahogany but could be a type of Teak as well. The glass was definitely upgraded at some point to a very heavy multi-pane design to provide a better seal. The mortise locks were removed, but the original brass knobs are still present. It can be used as a humidor, or as a safari display case as well. It has removable fabric inserts in it presently to be used for displaying curios. I can get you actual dimensions if required, but I'd roughly say its 50"+ Tall, 18" deep, and 48" wide. Weight is probably around 100lbs. I'll sell it for $400 and will help pack and load it. You need to contact uShip and get a bid to bring it to your home. Uship is an ebay-like bidding services to bid on LTL freight and is quite reasonable.
Item 30: An ultra premium custom switch rod, 7 weight. used once successfully for tiger fishing on the Zambezi. Works just as well for steelhead, redfish, and sea trout. Has an English made Hardy Bougle reel. Loads of flies, boxes, and leaders for tiger fish. Custom leather rod tube. Custom rod with inlays of jungle cock feathers. Includes all the shooting heads and wallet. Lots of other stuff with it not pictures. Boxed and ready for shipping, relisting because buyer fell through. $3000 delivered.
