In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, cigarette cases were a popular accessory, reflecting the changing social dynamics and attitudes towards smoking. As tobacco became more widely consumed, especially after the introduction of commercially rolled cigarettes, these cases provided a convenient and stylish way to carry and protect cigarettes.

This antique cigarette case by A Nicholls & Son is a true treasure from the 1920s, and is a testament to the quality of workmanship from the era. Made of sterling silver, it features exquisite machine-turned decoration that adds to its antique charm, and the slightly curved design ensures a nice fit in coat or pant pockets. The case is perfect for storing your cigarettes and keeping them safe.
The sterling silver material adds to its durability and elegance, making it a great addition to any antique collection.

Nicely marked initials by silversmith and with the 1928 Sterling Birmingham hallmarks.
Good condition, very light surface scratching as expected on an antique piece.
