Description from the seller

Pocket tobacco box or mechanical cigarette case in solid silver 925 - First half of the XX century

Fascinating and rare pocket cigarette case or tobacco tin for collection in solid silver with 925 fineness (sterling), dating from the first half of the XX century.

The design features a clean, minimalist and elegant line, characterized by a beautiful natural patina of time that enhances its authenticity. The structure is extremely compact, born to be conveniently kept in the breast pocket of a jacket or waistcoat.
The hallmarks and marks are not visible due to the natural wear over time or artisanal production, but the authenticity and purity of the silver have been expressly verified and confirmed by a professional goldsmith through tests with a modern spectrometer, guaranteeing the 925 fineness. A high-quality piece, ideal for tobacciana and antique silver collectors.

Silver 925 (Sterling Silver) - Tested with spectrometer

• Conditions: Good general condition for its age, with normal signs of surface wear and light scratches that confer charm to the piece. Original patina not polished. Vintage mechanism present.

Seller's Story

For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era. Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique. I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen. I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible. Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
