Description
This is an authentic vintage brass cuspidor (spittoon) with clear historic markings. The piece features a broad, shallow basin atop a tiered base, displaying the rich, aged patina characteristic of an object over 75 years old. The metal surface shows wear consistent with its age and use, adding to its genuine antique appeal.
The base is stamped with a distinct manufacturer’s mark—the stylized initials “AL” enclosed within a geometric hexagon/octagonal border—and a clear date stamp: “6-2-47,” indicating it was likely manufactured or issued on June 2, 1947.
This classic piece would have been a common fixture in public places, offices, or homes in the early to mid-20th century. Today, it serves as a wonderful decorative industrial or nautical accent piece, a unique planter for small succulents, or a distinctive item for a collector of militaria, railway artifacts, or vintage metalware.
