Art Deco Metal Cigarette Box with Faux Wood Design

Jon Nix — Wed, 29 Jul 2020 20:04:56 +0000

Not dissimilar to the shape of a World War One tank, this great little Art Deco cigarette box in metal with hinged lid, features a faux wood effect in two tones and typical geometrical designs. Most likely made for the Squirrel brand of cigarettes, this is an unusual and eye-catching item.

In good overall condition and structurally solid, the box could certainly perform a new role. There is some slight pitting to the top surface and some general signs of age and use throughout, but otherwise the box is clean and cosmetically good, with very little fading to the colours (as is often the case with boxes of this type).

The box measures 9 cm wide by 12 cms deep by 6.5 cm high (3½ in. by 4½ in. by 2½ in.)

A great example of a 1920s/30s Ogden's Redbreast Flake Tobacco tin, the 2 ounces size. A lot of these tins resurface in frankly terrible condition, but this one is relatively good: the colours are still quite vibrant and there are few, if any, dents. The lid fits snugly. There is wear and tear consistent with age, of course.

The tin measures approx. 8cm by 6cm by 2cm (3¼ by 2¼ by ¾ in).
