Product Details

This is a remarkable example of mid-century nautical-themed decor, likely manufactured by Syroco (Syracuse Ornamental Company). The set features a humidor or trinket box crafted from 'Syroco Wood,' a proprietary material made of wood flour and resins pressed into ornate molds. The lid prominently displays a detailed relief of a sailing ship, while the interior holds a separate glass ashtray insert featuring an etched anchor motif. The textured, faux-wood grain finish provides a rugged, maritime aesthetic typical of early to mid-20th-century smoking accessories. These sets were popular as masculine office decor and are now highly sought after by collectors of nautical memorabilia and mid-century tobacco accessories. The construction is solid, and the preservation of the glass insert adds significant value to the set.
