Art Deco Bakelite Humidor

Designed in 1938 by David Dunberg, this American, Art Deco humidor or cigarette holder is made of both bakelite (or catalin) and chrome. They came in a variety of colors as shown in the photograph from Keresztury's "Art Deco Bakelite and Jewelry Boxes." The insert holds 28 cigarettes. Seems like a very masculine object that would be on the businessman's desk at the time.

They seem very rare to find these days, and some of those other colors are fabulous. A great design.
