This dinky but delightful piece has a wonderful hinged brass lid that opens and closes neatly.
The glass element of the inkwell has an attractive dimpled pattern with its base having a cut star design.

Here we have a wonderful vintage State Express cigarette case.

The case is a gold toned metal (could be brass on the lid) with shiny sides & base. It has been polished up in parts and as a result has a two toned appearance, which adds to its warmth.

The lid has more of a brass appearance & benefits from a simple but effective pattern – it opens & snaps shut with ease.
The interior of the case is made of wood & has two compartments for storage, initially of cigarettes or tobacco, with the wood likley being Cedar as this would have been beneficial for preserving the freshness of the cigarettes.

State Express was a cigarette brand founded in London in the late 19th Century. The base of the case has the State Express logo and MADE IN ENGLAND stamped on it.

This particular case is from the 1950’s and as a result of its great age does show areas of wear & tear to it. There are a few knocks & marks to the surfaces, scratches , patina & rubbing. All this however adds to its charm and the case is fully functional for a wide range of storage ideas- pins, needles, buttons, receipts, jewels, rings, brooches, napkin rings & much more.

Add this to a collection of tobaccanalia, use it in your stylish home, make a feature of it as a display piece, gift it to a lover of all things vintage.

Dimensions – length – 24 cm , width 9 cm. ( approximately)

* SOLD * A delightful pocket sized tape measure , dinky but delightful and still very much fit for purpose.

This little marvel has a red cloth tape , marked on both sides, one being cms , the other inches. The tape is retractable and given its vintage age still pulls smoothly from its mechanism.

The tape is encased in brass with one side depicting a scene of three cherubs emerging from clouds with a divine light. The other side of the casing has an embossed design.

The tape measure is in lovely vintage condition with very few areas of wear & tear.

Some areas of the tape have a little fraying but it winds outwards and retracts back smoothly. The printed numbers are legible and easy to read.

One side of the case is much shinnier than the other – I feel its been polished up previously , but I have left it alone.

It measures a delightful 1 inch diameter.
