Great posts guys!!

Please keep them coming!
I hope you all don't mind a hockey item....
This is a cigar humidor in astonishingly high grade that was presented to GH Stead, the long-time secretary-treasurer of the Victoria Hockey Club of Winnipeg. I'm not sure if it was presented upon his retirement from the club, or if it's an anniversary piece, as the Victoria Hockey Club was celebrating their 25th anniversary in 1915. The Victorias are noteworthy as being the first team outside of Montreal to win the Stanley Cup. The club hoisted Lord Stanley's hardware on three occasions, 1896, 1901 and 1902.
Oddly enough, I already had the matching 1914-15 Victoria Hockey Club cabinet photo in my collection when I found the humidor.
