Nice Little Tobacco Jar Find

[verporchting]

It looked lonely and for $2 it seemed like it wanted a new home.

Circa 1970s? Plastic lining with integrated humidity disk. Not a collectible item I’m sure and I probably won’t use it for anything other than accessories I’d guess but it’s rather charming in its own way.

I don't know... if it is tobaccoianna, it is highly collectible. Heck, people will collect empty tins also. Nice jar!!!

collectables are weird and only make sense to collectors.

I like it!

Use it for tobacco! This way, the tobacco you put in there dries out naturally and you don't have to wait bowl per bowl! I keep a dry jar for my Carter hall. That shit never dries out.

That's nice. Looks like something I wouldn't mind having my ashes put in when I check out of this world .

With or without distilled water in the humidity disk?

Very nice. Where did you find it. I never find anything like that.

Of course it's a tobacco jar. Why else would it have crossed pipes on the front?

I don't know!!! looks like some illuminati thing to me .

It's pretty unusual. If you told someone those are Uncle Herbert's ashes, they might believe you.

Very nice. Where did you find it. I never find anything like that.

Sitting forlorn in a tiny vintage shop in Spokane. Nothing else of any interest to me or my wife but we were driving through an area we hadn’t been to before and saw the shop so I just pulled into a parking spot and wandered in. Probably only spent 5 minutes there but I now have an Illuminati ashes urn / vintage tobacco jar, lol.

Without. I live in the south, I hate humidity.

It's pretty interesting that it depicts a claw clutching an egg and a figural pipe—that's pretty specific pipe stuff to depict—it could've easily been generic billiards.

I had exactly the same thoughts. Strange isn’t it?

Such are the workings of the Illuminati

With or without distilled water in the humidity disk?

I'd prefer Bourbon.
