Welcome, that thing is nice! I can't afford it but I wish I could. It would go well with a smelling salts or tobacco collection among other things.Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for positive comment []I contacted the man who wrote a book about this spittoon and he confirmed that he had never seen green version.More information can be found on his website http://www.bluehenry.co.uk

Oh great! Now he's got to write an addendum and republish. []I'll bet he was thrilled to see it and know it existed anyway.

I'm not sure how the cross promotion on eBay works. It looked odd being in Croatia but shipped from the US. I only saw it on ebay US and Canada with a search engine. Maybe that's why there were only 3 bidders.If I still had my collection of green and teal smelling salts and the money, I might have expanded to that thing.I still think the price was fair.

Very nice, you got a load of bucks out of that one. Interesting, our neighbor's last name is Dettweiler.
