[MR] OFFERED: Wooden container

[Roy B. Scherer]

Good people -
	Regardless of hurricanes and earthquakes, mudane life goes on.
	I have this . . . this THING, which is arguably period, and for 
which I have no use.
	It's a wooden container (carved from a single piece of wood), 
roughly cylinderical but with curves and a fluted top.  It's about 5 
1/2" high, 5 7/8" outside diameter.  Including the wooden top, it's 6 
3/4" high.  There are no markings of any kind.  There's a very faint 
scent of tobacco in it.
      It may have been used by my birthfather as a humidor for pipe 
tobacco.  It came from my parents' attic, and has not been used in at 
least the the past 40 years, probably not in the past 61 years.
	I haven't attempted to find any documentation on it, since it was 
probably made during the (nineteen) forties.  OTOH, it is clearly 
within the capabilities of period craftsmen.
	Would anyone like it?
