Now that's just sad. Stripping the copper out of a piece of cigar history -

Yes that is a humidor. Copper was very common as Tom pointed out - in addition to tin, glass, porcelain, enameled metals, etc.

Most people associate Spanish cedar with humidors - but the fact is that for the first couple thousand years, cigars (tobacco products) were stored in simple clay pots and glass jars. Spanish cedar did not become common until the 20th century.

So - you know for $50 bucks you can own a functional piece of history that I'm sure cleaned up would look great in most any room (and sell for a lot more than $50 bucks).
