Silver Plated Cigarette Case
Approximate Dimensions = 105mm x 90mm x 17mm thick.
Reasonbly Good condition, has wear and bit rusted inside. Unmarked.
A cigarette case (sometimes called a cigarette tin) is a sturdy container used to store small numbers of cigarettes and prevent them from being crushed. A typical cigarette case is a flat box (commonly made of metal) that opens symmetrically into two halves. Each half stores a row of cigarettes, which are often held in place by a spring or an elastic strap. Some cigarette cases are simply sturdy cases used to store standard cigarette packs.
***
Cigarette cases are usually slim and rectangular, often with rounded edges and sides, for the comfort of the case being carried within the pocket. One side is hinged, and the cases open or reveal two compartments to hold a small number of cigarettes antique cigarette cases usually hold around 8 to 10 cigarettes, as many cigarettes in the nineteenth and early twentieth century were shorter and wider than the cigarettes which are produced today. Often, cigarette cases will have a small piece of elastic inside, which would've been used to hold the cigarettes in place on either side of the case, no matter the position in which it was opened.
Cigarette cases were in common use from the nineteenth century, until the mid twentieth century. They were largely to protect cigarettes from breaking or damage, in a more effective way than paper cigarette boxes were capable of. The durable metal cases were often decorated with enamel or engravings, and due to smoking being perceived as a masculine pursuit, the design of cigarette cases for men meant that these images on the enamel or engraving often featured women in a state of erotic undress.
