Description

Northern Pacific R.R. Brass Spittoon — Embossed Locomotive, Reproduction

A brass reproduction spittoon in the classic railroad style, embossed on the upper body with a detailed steam locomotive and the legend "NORTHERN PACIFIC R.R." The two-piece construction features a wide flared rim, constricted neck, and separating bulbous lower bowl, finished in brass with a warm aged patina ranging from deep bronze to golden yellow. These brass railroad-themed spittoons were imported as novelty and memorabilia items and are widely collected as decorative railroadiana.

No additional items are included beyond the spittoon itself.

CONDITION Good. Structurally sound with both sections fitting together as intended and the embossed markings remaining crisp and fully legible. Age-appropriate patina and surface oxidation present throughout; no remarkable damage.
