Title: Wilke Mfg Co Porcelain Cigar Case -LOOKING TO BUY ONE!!-
Post by: miloflex on October 31, 2009, 06:11:44 pm

Greetings fellow antiquers...

I am in search of a box that a friend has...

It is a white porcelain cigar case / humidor / box with metal inlays, corners and edges.  I would guess it's roughly a 12"x12" cube that's a bit deeper.

On the front it states:  "Wilke Mfg Co.  Porcelain Cigar Case"

If anyone knows where I can find/buy this, I would greatly appreciate it. 

Thank you for any help you can give.  Attached is a picture of one of his.

Hi Milo,
If you're still looking for the Wilke Porcelain Cigar Case, I have one I'd consider selling...they're very rare.
Wilke also manufactured porcelain tiled refrigerators in the early 1900's for the very wealthy.
Email me if you like.
