Has anyone bought, sold or know the value of this Cushman copper lined humidor #539?
Your humidor is really nice - looks much better than the ones I see listed for sale. Cushman is a good brand name so this should also increase the value yours above the 'average' price.
I see that you posted it on InstAppraisal but there is no date and no comments?
I also see that you have an ad showing your humidor with a date of 1927. This is also a good item when/if posting for sale. This may not be the best site to post when looking for quick comments.
If you look at eBay's sold listings you can see what people are paying for 'similar' humidors. I say similar, but that is a loose comment as there really is not a 'similar' item with pieces like this.

I would suggest you join Reddit and post your pictures and question in their furniture section as they usually answer quickly and have very good answers.

Or try some of the other free appraisal site.

If you plan to sell; you may want to start your price high - $350-$500 with best offers considered and free pick up or shipping. This will require special shipping.
Leave it posted for several weeks/months and if no offers, lower the price and wait again.
Sadly, I did see a nice humidor listed on eBay for $195 and it had been listed for almost 4 years and still not sold.
The H.T. Cushman Manufacturing Company factory was a fixture on Water Street in the Village of North Bennington, Vermont from 1892 (some sources cite 1886 or 1889) until its purchase by Green Mountain Furniture in 1971 (some sources cite 1980). northbennington.org/
I found the "Cushman Smokers" catalog where your model is:
bennington.pastperfectonline.com/
The model #539 is described as "Humidor. Japanese Red. Coppered Metal Lined. Decorated. Height 10", Top 9" x 11". Metal Tray with Metal Box Holder, Cigarette Jar and Ash Tray."
The furniture manufactured by Cushman is still highly valued and sought after today.
I think the estimated price of your Cushman copper lined humidor is about $150-300, maybe even $350 www.ebay.com/
The price depends, of course, not only on the state, but also on the demand. Antique Vintage Cushman Smoker Tobacco Smoking Stand Ashtray Humidor Table was sold for $400 picclick.com/
The prices I see for similars range from $75-$200 USD.
Most humidors appear to be selling for up to $200.

This one is asking $389. www.ebay.com/
Excellent reply. Along with a few others here. I have just discovered what I thought was an antique pie warmer,
Is infact a Cushman humidor. Very interesting! Mine is more mahogany or cherry wood like in color and style.

Is infact a Cushman humidor. Very interesting! Mine is more mahogany or cherry wood like in color and style. Lined with copper within the cabinet and similar to many others alike. I will take photos soon and forsee the options you and others suggested to post on. Thank you!
