It looks like you have a Spittoon. The U.S. Tobacco Company has been around since the 1820s, under several different names:
1822-1870 - George Weyman
1870-1905 - Weyman & Bros
1905-1911 - American Tobacco Company
1911-1922 - Weyman-Bruton Company
1922-2001 - United States Tobacco Company
2001–present - U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company
It might have been new when she gave it to you, or it could have been made in the 1920s.
Thanks just wanted some info on it..
I just have not sen one of these before and was wanting to see if I could get some info thanks..
you're welcome. If there are any other markings it might clue you into the age more.
Good looking Spittoon. I worked at U.S. Tobacco Co. for 14 years. In there warehouse was an old Philip Hass Toilet. You can find it under Philip Hass Toilet. I have two Spiittoons from there but they don't have any marking on them. I think my are 30 years old. Before I left they replaced them with some cheap ones. I like any kind of things from U.S.
On the listings is another spitton from a Railroad,if you find it perhaps that can give you some info about your posting.
