Whether it’s a birthday, Christmas, or any special occasion, this stunning case is the perfect gift for antique enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
Though it carries a rich history, the case remains in admirable condition. It bears some light surface scratches and a few minuscule ‘dings’ – typical signs indicating its vintage nature. Importantly, the case closes flush. However, prospective buyers should note that occasionally the case may open without using the button. Its compact dimensions, 8.7 cm in length, 6.1 cm in width, and 1.6 cm in depth, are complemented by its substantial weight of 76.25 grams.
For context, while photographs showcase UK brand cigarettes and cigars smaller than the typical king-size, measuring 6.9 CM, these are merely for display. They are not included in the purchase. This treasured piece, like all preloved items, does come with some signs of wear. Yet, its charm remains undiminished.
Whether you’re looking to add a statement piece to your collection or gift a loved one a touch of history for a birthday, Christmas, or any special occasion, this Edwardian cigarette case promises to be a gift that stands the test of time.
