<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 10327102, member: 76316"]The case is 0.912" long, 0.577" wide at the monogrammed cap; weight is 8.6 grams. The holder itself weighs 5.1 grams, an' is 2.360" long; the mouthpiece is UV reactive, so amber is suspected there. The receptacle end is 0.411" by 0.321" oval; made for Gauloises or similar cigarettes. This is apparently a woman's smoking accessory, made to be worn on a chain, or a pin...to keep it handy in time of need. I think the monogram is JW; the maker's mark is F&B within a forked pennant. Can an age be put to it, an' a maker's name & city? Thanks for lookin'!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]519224[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]519225[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]519226[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]519227[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]519228[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]519229[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]519230[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]519231[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
