Tobacco
Humidor with a
Goat and
Masonic Saddle on Lid
This tobacco humidor is circa
1915 and plays on the Masonic humor of riding the Goat! Although it was
simply a joke in Masonic Lodges, Woodmen of the World and a few other Orders
would engage their new candidates in a moment of this humorous
sport! Many of the Lodge Goat jokes can be found in this book "The
Lodge Goat and Goat Rides" and a real Goat Riding Tricycle can be
seen (here).
