ARTIFACT: This is a charming handmade, inlaid wooden mechanical cigarette box from 1930s Havana, Cuba. Delicate geometric designs grace every visible surface and a panel with a painting of the CAPITOLIO slides back to reveal the storage area for the cigarettes. But the real star here is a plucky waterfowl on a roller who grabs a cigarette with his beak whenever the post next to him is depressed.

VINTAGE: Circa 1930s.

SIZE: Approximately 4-1/8" height and 6-7/8" width (at buckle) and 3-9/16" depth.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Inlaid and painted wood with spring and paper rollers.

ATTACHMENT: N/A.

MARKINGS: N/A.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a tobacco-related collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MBJX96 LABEX8/10 SABEX6/11

CONDITION: 8 (Excellent-): Box has some slight abrasions and light wear.

GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
