Cool Deco Cigarette Case
« on: December 29, 2012, 03:16:46 pm »
This is one of the cooler recent finds again like most things no idea what to price it. We have a shop, and pricing is so strange these days you can walk into a salvation army store find something worthless selling for really expensive and sitting right next to it is a sterling silver bowl for 2.00$ that happened to me today. But that is another story...

Here are the pictures I really like this item.

I really dig the picture frame inside with the old picture. if anyone has any dealing in these please tell.

Whoa, The enamel photos are worth a lot of money, I think you can get some nice money for this. Nice find. It's not equal to the enameled, but still great find! ;D

Art Nouveau style would be my opinion !!  Should bring good money with tobacco related items selling well now !!  Do some looking on Ebay ending prices and Ruby Lane to get a feel for what to ask for it !!  Just don`t go too high !!  Much depends on your area and your customer base !!

Not worth much over here..thousands on ebay...unless its solid silver and hallmarked..or 9ct gold...then you would be lucky to get £30....smoking collectables or anything to do with Tobacciana..over here.unless its any of the above.is like trying to sell Sand to the Arabs....

Tobacciana is hot in the US.  These are very collectible.

Ya I dig it.. Going to try to put it into the shop for a while and if it does not sell I will ebay it but it is a nice item to show off in a cabinet.

Ca. 1920 or so. Reflects the interesting tendency to "bundle sins, " I.e. pornography and smoking.
