From what little I could find it was made by H.T Cushman Manufacturing Company in Bennington Vermont sometime prior to 1940 or so. They apparently had an entire line of smoking stands and tables. Some with accessory drawers, some with copper lined humidors built in. The ashtray and paint are original. The base is a little loose and it is missing two smaller ashtray stands that went with it.

That's really quite a neat stand and I too like those built in rests. Said it before and I'll say it once again - she's a keeper

Fun piece! :clappy:

I recently picked up a Savinelli leather 2-pipe murse. Much classier on trips and outings than throwing a bunch of random crap into a ziploc bag :)

A little Xmas gift to myself !
Bought a couple of Modus cigar tools. These were designed and are made by a BOTL on another forum and I've wanted something a little nicer than the crude tools I've been using.
The craftsmanship on these is top notch and they are more heavy duty than I thought, looking at the pictures.
Nubber on one end, draw tool on the other (i put both Modus in the picture to show both ends)
Merry Christmas to me !

Those look nice Tony. Does that single have a little grabber to remove a little Baccy?

Yes, I should have turned it in the pic so it showed better - it looks like 2 dark spots in the pic I posted. There are 2 slits on each side to help remove some bits of loose tobacco to open it up. They start at about 3/4" and go to about 2", alternating sides.

Indeed, these have GOT to have barbs cut into them! The more the merrier. If you can't excavate tobacco from a plugged stick, once the baccy heats up, you're worse off than when you started.

Back in the day, I consulted with one of the original makers of such tools; "Boom". He was making great looking tools at the time, but they lacked the barbs.

It's nice to know one has, in some way, influenced posterity. ;)

@WNYTONY those look awesome! I see its available on amazon. Is that the best way to purchase them?
