Description
Vintage Metal Cigarette Case Bundle
A collectable bundle of four vintage metal cigarette cases in assorted sizes, finishes and decorative designs. These characterful cases display geometric detailing typical of Art Deco and mid-century styling. One smaller case bears a decorative crest with partially legible wording, while another features a colourful enamel-style shield emblem.
This listing is for a bundle of four cases comprising:
- One large gold-tone rectangular case with rounded corners, finely textured surfaces, linear geometric decoration and a script-style monogram or motif.
- One large silver-tone rectangular case with rounded corners, engine-turned geometric decoration and a small colourful shield emblem to the front.
- One medium silver-tone rectangular case with engine-turned textured panels, polished borders and a small blank or lightly marked rectangular cartouche.
- One smaller warm silver-tone rectangular case with vertical ribbed decoration, side clasp and a crest plaque bearing the words Twickenham and England.
Features:
- Four-piece mixed vintage bundle.
- Assorted silver-tone, gold-tone and bronze-tone finishes.
- Decorative engine-turned, ribbed and geometric patterns.
- Hinged rectangular case designs.
- Interesting display pieces for a tobacciana or vintage accessories collection.
- Could also be suitable for repurposing as small keepsake, card or trinket cases, subject to internal dimensions.
Condition:
Pre-owned vintage condition with visible age-related wear throughout. The cases show varying degrees of surface scratching, tarnishing, discolouration, rubbing, marks and small areas of oxidation. The gold-tone case has notable tarnish and some green oxidation or verdigris near an edge. The other cases have scratches and finish wear consistent with their age and previous use. The interiors, catches, hinges and suitability for carrying modern cigarettes have not been fully assessed. No keys or additional accessories are included. Please study all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition description.
Material and maker information:
The cases appear to be made from mixed base metals with plated or coloured finishes. No precious-metal content is claimed, and the bundle has not been tested for silver or gold. A clearly attributable manufacturer could not be confirmed from the visible markings, so the brand is listed as Unbranded. Any faint names, monograms, crests or markings should be regarded as decorative or unidentified.
Please note:
- This is a bundle of four vintage cases and not a single item.
- No cigarettes, tobacco or other contents are included.
- Exact age, composition and individual makers are unknown.
- Colours may vary slightly due to lighting and screen settings.
- Sold as a collectable vintage lot with wear commensurate with age.
