Antique Glass & Oak Pipe Rack Cabinet – Smoking/Smoke Accessory Display Humidor Tobacco Drawer. This beautiful antique pipe cabinet has quartersawn oak panels showing the amazing flame grain of the wood. The glass cabinet features racks for 6 pipes, a central area for a tin of tobacco and an interior drawer. There is an additional drawer on the exterior of the cabinet. I date this from the late 1800s to the early 1920s. Has a badge on top that reads:W. Hawkins From APCM Swanscombe Works 1922. I believe this was probably a retirement gift to an employee of the Swanscombe Works in 1922! No key for the lock, and the door sits ajar slightly. There is a crack in the wood on the back panel. Wear commensurate with age. See pictures for condition. It measures about 15″ tall, 11.75″ Wide and just over 7 Deep. Swanscombe Cement Works and its Railways (ILS) was a cement works in Kent, England that operated for almost 165 years, from 1826 to 2003. It was one of the largest and longest-lasting cement works in the world. The works was also known as White’s Works and Frost’s Works.
