This cutter depicts a man with a mace and a hand held high in greeting. It features a variety of elements reminiscent of Greek mythology and is made from a light, non-magnetic metal--probably aluminum or zinc (pot metal). At the man's feet is an owl, whose head is removable and reveals a lighter. Embossed lettering was cast into the socle and reads, "Straiton & Storm / Joe Brandt / 'Pinnacle' / 'Bouquet' / New York Segars". The whole piece has a light brown patina with a slight green tinge. The Straiton & Storm company became General Cigar in 1917.
Condition: (Very Good).
