AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant and authentic tabletop cigarette dispenser combined with a mechanical music box, shaped like a vintage globe. An iconic collectible piece of mid-20th-century living-room design and smoking accessories (Tobacciana).
The globe is made of two-tone metal, with raised gold continents on a silver-colored background, all resting on a substantial brass base that houses the musical mechanism.
The operation is entirely mechanical and automatic: pulling up the upper brass ring raises the dome along a square telescoping central shaft. This movement releases the music box brake, and it starts playing a retro tune while unfolding a magnificent polished brass corolla-shaped carousel inside. The carousel has 18 slots (one is missing) for holding cigarettes. When the globe is closed, the mechanism stops playing (it is temperamental and stops whenever it feels like it). The manual music-box winding key is located underneath the base.
A superb “Tobacciana” or vintage bistro decorative piece, ideal for fans of retro design and sports history

Seller's Story
Passionate about flea markets, and antiques of all kinds since my childhood, I was already selling on this site as an individual, the joy and kindness of the buyers made me understand that it was the right time to get started in my small business, I pay particular attention to the lots offered in order to be able to satisfy you, all my objects benefit from a very light cleaning and no restoration so that you can judge for yourself their quality and condition, so good auction to all and see you soon I hope
