No reserve price - Cigarette case (2) - argentan - Vestcase&cigarette holder

1st item: Antique Vest-Pocket Cigarette Case – Compact Form, Maker-Stamped
Material: Argentan Interior fitted with a mustard/gold-toned lining.
Size: Notably small in scale — this is a genuine vest-pocket cigarette case, sized to slip into a waistcoat pocket rather than a jacket pocket. This compact "vest" format was a popular gentleman's accessory in the early-to-mid 20th century and is a good detail to lead with, as collectors often search for this specific smaller size.
Marks: Stamped with the number "267" along the interior edge/hinge bar, likely a factory pattern or model reference rather than a hallmark. A separate maker's punch mark is also present, reading — as best can be determined from a worn, angled impression — "P ★ Q" (letter, five-pointed star, letter). This reading is tentative given the softness of the strike; it's offered as a probable identification rather than a certainty, and may reward a straight-on, well-lit photo if you want to pin down the exact maker for the listing.
Provenance/Age: Consistent with a European (likely German or Austrian) nickel-silver vest-pocket case, circa early-to-mid 20th century.
Dimensions & Weight: 9 x 7.3 x 1.3 cm; 78 g.
Fully functional lacks straps
2nd item: Vintage Tortoiseshell-Effect Cigarette Holder with White Inlay Band – Compact Style
Description:
A small, compact cigarette holder in a rich tortoiseshell-effect material (mottled brown and amber tones, high gloss), with a thin double-line band of a contrasting white material set into the body — likely bone, ivory substitute, or an early white plastic (e.g., celluloid) — rather than metal. A rounded, slightly bulbous tip caps one end.
Material:
Body: Tortoiseshell-effect material — almost certainly a synthetic/early plastic imitation (e.g., cellulose acetate), as genuine tortoiseshell has been restricted material since the mid-20th century; cannot be confirmed as genuine or faux without testing.
Band: White material, possibly bone or an early plastic/celluloid imitation — cannot confirm bone vs. synthetic without close inspection or testing (bone typically shows fine natural grain or pores under magnification, which plastic won't have).
Dimensions: 5 x 1.2 cm
Weight: 4 g
Age/Provenance: Style and materials are consistent with mid-20th century manufacture,
Condition: Body intact with no visible cracks or chips; surface shows a warm, glossy patina consistent with age and handling, with light general wear. White inlay band is intact and securely seated, with minor surface wear. No losses or repairs noted.
