Featured Cut glass jewelry box -- need quick eyes on this

Hello. Seems like I had one of these that sold for around $80. Cut glass dresser casket, I think was how mine was listed, but I think mine was stamped "France".

Someone is selling this one in the photos for $18. Do you think older? (Using photos from ad.) Trying to decide if I should go look at it. Thanks.

 

If you can look at it, and determine it is indeed cut, buy it quick. Otherwise, its your choice.

 

I agree...nice piece !

 

Could it have been made for ciggies? No idea whodunnit, but it's a nice box.

 

It does look like a cigarette box. And would have had a matching ashtray.

Probably a lighter too.

 

Yep. Pretty much.

 

Photo is of what's described as a "smoker's set." Such things existed but... This one looks like a marriage to me.

The person selling the one I posted did not get back to me yet, so I haven't gone to look. They didn't post measurements so it's hard to know exactly what this is, yet. And who knows, maybe already sold to someone else.

One other time I found a box like this at a thrift, and (I think) there was "made in France" on the inside hinge, but might be wrong in that memory. Also I'm foggy on selling price but seem to recall $80-$90 + $20 shipping. The one I had was quite heavy, and seemed too big for cigarettes. Mine was a bit like this one sold on Ebay ($225).

This has a star pattern, the one I had a repeated pattern more like the FB one. But otherwise size and weight seem like what I sold before.

Or this Baccarat one that sold for $400. Not sure they are from a cigarette set, but who knows.

I was going to say ciggy box too. I think I may have seen similar in my travels.
