1935 Silver & Black Enamel Cigarette Case (or Cigarette Tin) ~ Rhode Island Yacht Club (RIYC) Vintage

The 1935 Silver & Black Enamel Cigarette Case with the Rhode Island Yacht Club (RIYC) design is a vintage piece of Art Deco style silver craftsmanship from the United States. Made of sterling silver with a black enamel outer covering, this cigarette case has the Yacht Club Flag centered on the front with 'RIYC" above the flag and "1935' below. As the Rhode Island Yacht Club in Cranston, Rhode Island was founded in 1875, this very well may have been a 60th Anniversary Gift by the Club. This has been in my family for generations - many of my relatives including my grandparents and great-grandparents were members of the Rhode Island Yacht Club.

• In very good vintage condition with a small amount black enamel loss near the outer edge
• The inside is bright with shiny silver plate with a decorative silver spring holder to hold the cigarettes in place
• The side hinge mechanism works very well
• This cigarette case measures 4-3/4 inches x 3 inches x 1/4 inch
• It weighs: 3-1/2 ounces (without packaging)
• Will be carefully packaged inside a box and shipped to you via USPS Mail including Insurance & Delivery Signature
