Antique Cast Iron Figural Tobacco Jar in the Style of Iron Art LB65 - A figural lidded container, commonly used as a tobacco jar or humidor, constructed from cast iron. The vessel is modeled as a grotesque caricature of a man's head, featuring a large bulbous nose, deep-set eyes under a heavy brow, and a downturned, grimacing mouth. The upper portion of the head, including a wide-brimmed hat, serves as the removable lid with an integrated flange. The exterior displays a rough, pitted texture characteristic of sand-cast metal with a dark, aged finish. This item is in the style of late 19th to early 20th-century novelty metalware and is visually consistent with the Iron Art model LB65.
