This box came into a friend of mine's jewelry store for repair....probably made around 1930-50's....just a guess. I happened to have brought my camera....
Half of any good engraving is the ability to transfer a good design onto the surface of the metal.....I really liked this thistley-looking scroll pattern. Pieces like this....or even a halfway decent photo of them, are good for two different instructional purposes; They present the design itself to be studied....but also are invaluable as study pieces with which one can not only deduce the nature of the various cutting techniques used...but also which shape and size of graver produced the various cuts.

Silica gel is a granular, vitreous, highly porous form of silica made synthetically from sodium silicate. Despite its name, silica gel is a solid. It is a naturally occurring mineral that is purified and processed into either granular or beaded form. As a desiccant, it has an average pore size of 2.4 nanometers and has a strong affinity for water molecules.
Silica gel is most commonly encountered in everyday life as beads packed in a vapor-permeable plastic. In this form, it is used as a desiccant to control local humidity in order to avoid spoilage or degradation of some goods. Because of poisonous dopants (see below) and their very high absorption of moisture, silica gel packets usually bear warnings for the user not to eat the contents. If consumed, the pure silica gel is unlikely to cause acute or chronic illness. Food-grade desiccant should not include any poisons which would cause long-term harm to humans if consumed in the quantities normally included with the items of food.
,
History
The synthetic route for producing silica gel was patented by chemistry professor Walter A. Patrick at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, USA in 1919. It was used in World War I for the absorption of vapors and gases in gas mask canisters, as part of his patent. The substance was in existence as early as the 1640s as a scientific curiosity.[3]
In World War II, silica gel was indispensable in the war effort for keeping penicillin dry, protecting military equipment from moisture damage, as a fluid cracking catalyst for the production of high octane gasoline, and as a catalyst support for the manufacture of butadiene from ethanol, feedstock for the synthetic rubber program.
Properties
Silica gel's high surface area (around 800 m²/g) allows it to absorb water readily, making it useful as a desiccant (drying agent). Once saturated with water, the gel can be regenerated by heating it to 120 °C (250 °F) for two hours. Some types of silica gel will "pop" when exposed to enough water.
Preparation
A solution of sodium silicate is acidified to produce a gelatinous precipitate that is washed, then dehydrated to produce colorless silica gel.[4] When a visible indication of the moisture content of the silica gel is required, ammonium tetrachlorocobaltate(II) (NH4)2CoCl4 or cobalt chloride CoCl2 is added.[4] This will cause the gel to be blue when dry and pink when hydrated.[4]
Applications
Desiccant
See also: Desiccant
In many items, moisture encourages the growth of mold and spoilage. Condensation may also damage other items like electronics and may speed the decomposition of chemicals, such as those in vitamin pills. Through the inclusion of silica gel packets, these items can be preserved longer.
Silica gel may also be used to keep the relative humidity (RH) inside a high frequency radio or satellite transmission system waveguide as low as possible. Excessive moisture buildup within a waveguide can cause arcing inside the waveguide itself, damaging the power amplifier feeding it. Also, the beads of water that form and condense inside the waveguide change the characteristic impedance and frequency, degrading the signal. It is common for a small compressed air system (similar to a small home aquarium pump) to be employed to circulate the air inside the waveguide over a jar of silica gel.
Silica gel is also used to dry the air in industrial compressed air systems. Air from the compressor discharge flows through a bed of silica gel beads. The silica gel absorbs moisture from the air, preventing damage at the point of use of the compressed air due to condensation or moisture. The same system is used to dry the compressed air on railway locomotives, where condensation and ice in the brake air pipes can lead to brake failure.
Silica gel is sometimes used as a preservation tool to control relative humidity in museum and library exhibitions and storage.
Other applications include diagnostic test strips, inhalation devices, syringes, drug test kits, bacteria and hospital sanitation kits.
Chemistry
In chemistry, silica gel is used in chromatography as a stationary phase. In column chromatography, the stationary phase is most often composed of silica gel particles of 40-63 μm. Different particle sizes are used for achieving a desired separation of certain molecular sizes. In this application, due to silica gel's polarity, non-polar components tend to elute before more polar ones, hence the name normal phase chromatography. However, when hydrophobic groups (such as C18groups) are attached to the silica gel then polar components elute first and the method is referred to as reverse phase chromatography. Silica gel is also applied toaluminium, glass, or plastic sheets for thin layer chromatography.
The hydroxy (OH) groups on the surface of silica can be functionalized to afford specialty silica gels that exhibit unique stationary phase parameters. These so-called functionalized silica gels are also used in organic synthesis and purification as insoluble reagents and scavengers.
Chelating groups have also been covalently bound to silica gel. These materials have the ability to remove metal ions selectively from aqueous media. Chelating groups can be covalently bound to polyamines that have been grafted onto a silica gel surface producing a material of greater mechanical integrity. Silica gel is also combined with alkali metals to form a M-SG reducing agent.
Silica gel is not expected to biodegrade in either water or soil.[5]
Cat litter
Silica gel is also used as cat litter,[6] by itself or in combination with more traditional materials, such as clays including bentonite. It is trackless and virtually odorless. Silica in this form can be a cost effective way for retail consumers easily to purchase silica gel for application in such things as maintaining the desired relative humidity in humidors, keeping tools rust free in damp environments, long term storage, and preservation of dried food for long term storage.

The spacious sunroom atop the old Kansas City hotel is what attracts artists and tourists from around the world. The fast check in / out is another feature that makes impressions on those who require simplicity. An elaborate caged elevator will steadily haul guests to the artists' suite atop the hotel to catch a view of whatever the transient artists are doing or painting.
Viewing hours are irregular and sometimes, depending on the personalities of the artists, cancelled without notice. But visitors need not fear, a lounge in the basement serves up pitchers of a local brew that raises spirits. Too, there is a shot bar where "surprise" shots or "Kansas City Depth Chargers" are specialties.
There are signs posted near the ashtrays that inform the customers that smoking is prohibited. An antique vending machine dispenses popular brands of smokes for $4.00. Another feature of the lounge is the surplus L & M Cigarettes still being sold at reduced prices. According to Marty Smart, bartender, there is no expiration date on the L & M cigarettes and they will continue to be sold for $2.00 per pack until they are gone. "We got enough to last through 2012," Marty told the TYME reporter covering the story.
From "The Metropolitan", Dec., 1914.

At the moment i have got some Opus X, Zino Platinum, Partagas, Hoyo's, Winston Churchill & some La Aurora's.
Here are some of my favorite Art Deco cigarette holders or humidors, circa 1930's. I love the Jazz Age combination colors of red, black, and chrome together--so stylish! The red and chrome one in the middle has an original tag on the green felt bottom which reads, "King New York." That could be the original manufacturer, or it could be a giftware shop that sold the item. I couldn't find anymore information about that company or shop on the internet. The red areas are either paint or enamel, and I love the red streamline, speed lines on the finial.
The smaller red, black and chrome cylinders have a metal separator inside for the cigarettes, while the larger red and chrome one does not. The manufacturer for the two black ones is unknown. Great Machine Age items from a bygone era.

The Humidor at Leaf is over 2000 square feet. According to their cigars e-store, the new humidor is bigger than the entire old store. Massive and absolutely wonderful to check out if you stop by Famous' new retail location. Big fan of the company and the product. Picked up a mild sampler when I was there in person last fall.
Doha International Airport is the main base of Qatar Airways, and is located in Doha, the capital city of Qatar.

New York, NY - We stopped by a cigar shop in New York, I can't remember what the name of the place was but I do remember the smell. Old leather, tobacco leaves and ceder I could have stayed for a long time.
