Humidor From the Captain of the Titanic Found

[blessednxs65]

It will go for $10-$20k at auction.

 

[Jwrussell]

Wow. That's pretty cool. And that's 10K-20K pounds, so more like $20K-$40K

 

[iCraig]

Thats awesome. What a great piece of history to own!

 

[SailorAg]

That's way cool. For a while I thought it was recovered from the wreckage. I wondered how one would get the odor of seawater out so it can be used again.

 

[Dr Bootygrabber]

I want!

OMG! I don't mean to go off topic here and I apologize in advance for doing so. But is post #5 from a user called Dr Bootygrabber??? PRICELESS!!!! Hahahahaha

Tread Title is a little misleading the humidor is not from the Titanic it was owned by the Captain of the Titanic.

"It is thought it would have stood on the captain's desk at his home in Southampton or the shipping line's office in Liverpool."

so who's bidding?

That's pretty neat. Does anybody know what camper wood is? Was it used extensively for humidors in the late nineteenth/early twentieth century?

 

[orangedog]

very cool... would be quite the conversational piece...

wonder how many of the trunk-style humis went down with the ship.

 

[thatjohnguy]

that is too cool

I think they may have meant "Camphor" wood which was used in building humidors

 

[Bamboolongbow]

Yep it is Camphor wood and the stuff is fragrant.

It "stings the nostrils" when freshly cut.

Would have made a great episode of Pawn Stars, LOL.

I could just see Ricks eyes go $ marks now and Chum Lee asking if it was in the movie.
