Welcome to CW Lauren, what a nice piece of Royal Doulton to have! :^D I hope you find out what you need to know! :^)
I'm not sure what you need to know, but here's a link to one that was for sale, that has some information about, just scroll down a little:

Sorry I didn't realize that "Doyal" was stamped on the bottom of your Humidor! :^D
I know that you went to this CW post, but here's the comment that Emma wrote, about conforming, that Doyal Doulton, is still a Royal Doulton piece:

Good news! Christopher Evans, of the Facebook Doulton Collector's Club, who is apparently a go-to authority, after seeing the photo of the maker's mark,said "It all looks fine there must have been a mistake on the impressed stamper. All the other bits look fine too including the pattern number and symbol." After seeing my other photos, he said "Lovely Jennie! A William Rowe design. It is totally fine and as we'd expect. Enjoy your find!" Jen, who runs the "stoproyaldoultonfakes" website, said "I would also agree with Chris, this is not a fake. It is pretty unique." She says she will ask friends about it. She seems to recall seeing something marked "DOYAL" before, but can't remember details. She said it may have more value, because of the boo-boo, and advised me to hang onto it. I sure will! I will leave this as a "mystery" for now, because I still have several questions I'd love to answer (though I'm not holding my breath!): is there a name, or other info for the unusual brown glittery glaze? Can it be dated any closer than "'20s or '30s"? Any idea who "WB" or "A" are, who initialed it? (I've seen 2 others of this design, and I think "WB" was the best at decorating them!) And, of course, how in the heck did some-one make the "DOYAL" stamp? (I'd say he missed his tea that day!) I may still contact Doulton, as Mary H suggested. Thanks to all!
Again I hope this helps! :^)
