ROYCROFT Hammered Copper Humidor Antique Arts and Crafts Ca 1920 Round Hallmarked Aurora Brown Finish Tobacco Canister

This antique or vintage signed Roycroft humidor that is circa 1930s. The humidor is hammered copper and round in shape. The lid has a round flat knob on the top.

This antique piece from the Arts and Craft era is hallmarked with the Roycroft symbol on the bottom that I believe was used from 1920 to approximately 1928.

The Aurora Brown finish Roycroft tobacco jar or canister features hammered copper on the base and the lid.

This rare Roycroft humidor is in nice antique/vintage condition with light signs of wear commensurate with antique age.

A very special smoking accessory from the Arts and Crafts, Mission era.


NOTE:
The original Roycroft logo was trademarked by Elbert Hubbard in 1906. Its inspiration comes from a symbol used by monks in the middle ages at the end of their illuminated manuscripts, signifying "The Best I Can Do Dedicated to God." The double barred cross and circle was used by the Roycroft artisans to identify their handcrafted, high-quality arts and crafts products. Hubbard inserted an "R" standing for "Roycroft" and symbolizing "Royal Craft" inside the circle, and began placing the logo in highly visible spots on the artisan's products. The logo would be carved into handcrafted furniture, affixed to leather goods, or added to certain patterns used on china and glassware. The Orb trademark came to signify the Roycroft movement, and products carrying the symbol were determined to be authentic, high-quality, handcrafted Roycroft pieces. Today these items with the orb and single "R" are highly collectable and usually quite valuable.
