Featured For Cigarette Case Lovers...

I have no idea why I became so attracted to old sterling cigarette cases, but once I had a little disposal income I started buying them. I love ones with engraving, little messages and history. I use some of these as wallets as most will fit a credit card, license and cash! Here are some from my collection...

 

These are fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing.

 

Oh, goodness - how lovely!!!

I had a nice collection of sterling cigarette cases a few years back, but I sold them all when the prices were high.

In many ways, I regret having sold them, but I had no place to display them, and no actual "use" for them, so I suppose it made no sense to keep them. (I just keep telling myself that!)

Karen, yours are exquisite!

 

My story is the same as SBSVC's ! I sold them when silver was at its peak,and have regretted it every since. I only have one left that I also use for credit cards,etc. Those are stunning !

 

Love them! Thanks for sharing them

 

They're lovely....thanks for sharing.
I too had a time where I had to have the ones I had to have.
I've always been a British silver fan.....& other silver found it's way in the door.

I've only sold one case I ever bought.....to help add $$$ for my wife's birthday gift. ......Shoulda kept it.......but alas...I didn't !

 

komokwa, I like the one with the yellow and blue design on it

 

it took a lot to get that one off an antique dealer.....
enamel....i think...

 

It's really wonderfully unusual!!

 

You've got a stellar collection here!!

 

I'm glad you have one left!!

 

Last man standing,so to speak ....

 

That is a nice one johnny
Great idea to use them for credit cards!

 

Ooooohh...this is a beauty!!

 

Nice engraved letters...& the hammered look ....which is not easy to pull off.

 

That may be overstating it a bit....but thanks...

 

I LOVE the idea for cash and credit cards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I just have to break my rule and go looking.......a wee bit........!!
