Here we have a beautiful pre-loved cigarette case. Made from Sterling Silver (925), and hallmarked Birmingham 1945. It is a really lovely piece, traditional of the period with a panel on the outside that can be engraved.

Since not many people smoke small cigarettes anymore these tend to make useful business card cases for the aspiring entrepreneur/gentleman. They will of course fit 'rollie' cigarettes. Have a look at my other items as I have a few more of these for sale.
