ID Old Metal Cigarette Case

Hi all,

I posted this on the metals forum, but no one could give me this information. I would like to know where it is from, the name of the style, age...all if possible. It still has a couple very old Marlboro's in it, and they started in 1924. Not sure if this is earlier though.

Also, I have tested several Android picture comparison apps to see if I can find similar images that I have. None work as I want them to. Any ideas?

Thanks greatly,
Amy

 

Duplicate thread.

Better to ask the mods to move your other thread over here, than start a new one.

 

Okay, wasn't sure if there was a way to do that. Thanks!

 

Enamel on base metal, anyhow. Korean I suspect.

 

Here's a green one, sold on eBay, appears to be brass, marked 'CHINA':

ummm....those are Camels.........not Marlies........

 

I told you it was Chinese in the other thread

 

unfiltered..

 

This stuff is called "Canton Enamel" or at least what us old dealers used to call it. Your piece is VERY tarnished. Normally copper base or sometimes silver-plated copper and enamel.
