<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 394625, member: 1476"]Your example is of a lighter in a fitted case. The box that holds it is a display box and doesn't appear to be leather. Given the decorative element, the poster's box was meant for display. Morocco leather with moire lining. The type of thing that would be placed on a gentleman's dressing table to hold cufflinks or studs. There was a great interest in Classical imagery-post World War II. I would imagine it dates to then. </p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
