In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, cigarette cases were a popular accessory, reflecting the changing social dynamics and attitudes towards smoking. As tobacco became more widely consumed, especially after the introduction of commercially rolled cigarettes, these cases provided a convenient and stylish way to carry and protect cigarettes. Some cases even featured compartments for matches or lighter storage.

This elegant accessory exudes a timeless charm, while the polished metal ensures not only a striking appearance but also a durable and lasting accessory. The outer case features a hand etched design. The inside has a safety arm affixed to one side.
