A wonderful example of a silver plated cigarette case with faux shagreen covering. This is a piece made by HC Freeman and they manufactured from 1920 - 1950. A fine piece that can now be used as a card case. Bound to delight.
Cigarette cases manufactured or imported by HCF Ltd (often H C Freeman Ltd or similar, frequently marked as HCF Ld) are highly regarded, early 20th-century British and import silver, often featuring Art Deco designs and, occasionally, enamel decoration. They were typically produced in Birmingham during the 1920s to 1950s.
