Evans Cigarette Case & Matchbook Box Nickel Silver Art Deco 1930s Doobie Storage
by admin
I have up for sale a wonderful antique / vintage original circa 1920s Art Deco Evans Nickel Silver Cigarette Case & Matchbook Vesta. Both are monogrammed with the letters W B. This is a matching set and its in the original box. The cigarette box 2-7/8″ x 3-3/4″ x 3/8 and is hinged, so it will easily fit in a front shirt pocket or pants pocket. The matchbook holder has a top ring so it can be used as a pendant or pocket, it measures approx 1-5/8″ x 2-1/4″ and tapers from 3/8″ down to 1/4″ as it shaped like a matchbook. The storage box is worn but its obviously original to the set. As noted the set is Monogrammed with the letters W B. The case would work great for cigarettes or joints, the matchbook holder is for a matchbook not stick matches as there is no striker and its shaped exactly like a matchbook – it tapers. ONLY THROW OUT THE BOXES AND PACKAGING AFTER YOU HAVE INSPECTED THE ITEM OR ITEMS AND FIND NO DAMAGE other than what may be noted in the condition report or shown in the pics. SAVE THE BOX AND ALL PACKAGING, PICS OF THE OUTER BOX AND INNER BOX, AND OF THE DAMAGED ITEM WOULD BE REQUIRED. THIS IS PART OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITY WHEN IT COMES TO DAMAGE. I PACKAGE TO THE VERY BEST OF MY ABILITIES BUT SOMETIMES THINGS HAPPEN THAT ARE OUT OF OUR CONTROL. I list my items as thorough and as honestly as I can – but it is the buyers responsibility to be informed as possible. Color shades/tones may vary depending on my back round and lighting conditions as well your or my monitor settings. All my items are either older collectibles or antiques and as with anything of this nature there may be slight imperfections due to age or use as well as manufacturing imperfections.
