Description
This all-brass spittoon carries the spirit of the Old West right into your space. Forged from solid brass, it embodies the sturdy, no-nonsense craftsmanship typical of metalworkers who supplied saloons and frontier outposts. Measuring 9-1/2″ tall with a broad 27″ diameter, its wide mouth was made to catch the spit of cowboys, miners, and travelers, helping keep the dusty floors clear in those rugged settings. The weight and solid feel of the piece reflect the practical approach of blacksmiths and metalworkers who fashioned such tools to endure frequent use and rough handling.
- Overall: 9-1/2″ tall by 27″ round
Spittoons were more than just receptacles,they were gathering points where folks swapped stories and news, lending a sense of community within the often harsh and lawless frontier saloons. A fun fact: in some frontier towns, spittoons were cleaned by town officials in a ritual that marked the changing of the guard or other civic occasions, showing how even these humble items held a place in local tradition.
