Before spanish cedar was used, glass, copper, and brass was used. Not all that effective. The thing that you really have to worry about is the seal. Thats why if you have a good seal and something that is self-regulating like beads or Boveda packs you can use something that isnt lined with cedar like a coolidor. BTW, Spanish helps to regulate humidity.

I'd say the same thing: have a closer look.

For clarity, Elderboy...these are likely NOT lined with copper. The copper alone would likely be worth 75 bucks.
That is stained tin, maybe stained steel. It is treated metal designed to look like copper. Check the other
thread, I guess I am going to have to link to it now,

http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=45409

A magnet sticks to this metal, and while I cannot state with 100% certainty that this humidor has to be exactly
like the other as linked to, it is very likely TO BE. I am not sure it makes a difference to people, but it is helpful to
know that these things are out there, and they are mostly all from the same era, made with the same materials.
Bring a magnet with you when you visit it so that you can KNOW.
