Info on CAMEL cigarettes lamp

[msmollyann]

I am hoping to get some information on a Camel cigarette table lamp that I recently saw - less about the value but more about the style and origin.
The lamp is basically a large brass (looking) woman's hand (left) - maybe about 24" high at the most - and the lighted part is a large cigarette in between the first two fingers.  The CAMEL wording/emblem is shown across the the base/wrist of the hand.
It looks to me that the style was very much art nouveau, but I can't find any information about Camel cigarette lamps anywhere.
Does anyone have any thoughts or info?

Thanks!!

Hi, MsMollyAnn. Welcome to the forum! Any chance of getting a picture?

[msmollyann]

Agh!  I knew I should have gotten a picture of it - I figured I could find at least one example of it online but there's nothing (which is weird to me)!  I will get a picture of it in the next few days.

I can't seem to find anything either! Would love to see the picture when you get it. If we can't find any information about it after that, you may have to contact a camel cigarette collector's club. If it's really rare, I'm sure they would love to tell you all about it.

I have never seen or heard of one like that !!  Its possible that only a few were made !! Was the price reasonable?? I would like to see that one too !!

I've been searching and can't come up with anything. Sounds like a unique item.

I've heard about them. Not the one you're describing exactly, but if memory serves, they were put out in the late 60s to early 70s to people that collected enough Camel Bucks. Pictures of course would help.

There were purported to be 500 of these units made , msmollyann .

Ohhh, you are good, fancypants! I was dying to see what it looked like!

[hosman321]

I want to see what it sold for!

[mart]

Wow !!  Thats a monster size cig !!!  Thanks fancypants for the pic !! I would like to know the selling price too !!

[fancypants]

Yeah , mart ... looks like Big Tobacco personified !

[msmollyann]

Awesome!!! Definitely very much like that, if not the same. I guess that it's not really art nouveau, but it certainly is cool.  Thanks for all your help!
