Solid Brass Spittoon Saloon | Western & Victorian Era

A Return to the Days of Gentlemen and Cowboys

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the spittoon was not merely a curiosity but an essential fixture of public life. You would find them in banks, hotel lobbies, courthouses, trains, and, of course, every respectable saloon. It served a hygienic purpose during a time when chewing tobacco was a common pastime for men of all social standings. The vessel's design was intentional—the wide, funnel-like rim was meant to ensure the "marksman" hit the target, sparing expensive carpets and wooden floors, while the narrow neck concealed the contents from view.

Usage and Care

This product is made from polished brass. To ensure it serves you well for years to come, proper care is essential:

• Cleaning: Brass naturally oxidizes over time, developing a patina. If you prefer this antique look, simply wipe the spittoon with a dry cloth. To maintain a high mirror-like shine, use a dedicated brass polish and a soft flannel cloth.
• What to avoid: Never use steel wool, abrasive scrubbing pads, or harsh chemicals, as these will scratch the smooth surface. Do not put it in a dishwasher.
• Alternative uses: If you don't plan on chewing tobacco, this vessel works excellently as a desk-side waste bin, a planter pot cover, or even an ice bucket (we recommend using a plastic liner) for a vintage-themed party.
