After finding out it was a flashlight and little research I did know it was a vest pocket light. I may have barely broke even on 40$ buy,although I haven't been able to find another one with a picture scene.

I think you could get more. Yours is different. I bet if you put it on ebay you would be surprised.

Everything I found said Cabinetta made cigars !! I didn`t find anything on cigarettes under that name !! Not to say there isn`t something somewhere,, I just didn`t find it !!
Neat case anyway !! I think it is well worth the price or a bit more !!

Mart,I did track down a flashlight collector,as we already know it is not a cigarette case. I sent him a very brief message,he said very nice European pocket light,rarely marked and not much U.S interest. I did message back with more details about the markings,still haven't heard back,oh on the first message I did not say it had marks. Maybe aftermarket engraving.

Therev was sure a lot online about the cigars !!  Could be they are still in business !! This could have been a promotional item but if so could raise the value a bit !!

Did find out what D.R.P stands for Deutsche Reichs Patent which tells me it's German,hence the fox hunt scene. Still haven't found what cabinetta means,can't see it having to do with cigars. Maybe small manufacture?
