Mid Century Brass Pop-Up Cigarette Nautical Lighthouse Dispense w/ Ship Helm

About the Item

This antique brass mechanical pop-up cigarette holder is a charming and functional collectible designed as a lighthouse. It features a delightful ship's helm, adding a nautical touch to its design. When the wheel is turned, the lid gracefully pops open, lifting cigarettes out on a smooth metal disk for easy access. Turning the wheel back closes the lid with precision, showcasing the clever engineering of its time. The brass body displays light surface wear, consistent with age, which enhances its vintage appeal. Though unmarked by a maker, this piece remains an excellent example of mid-century novelty craftsmanship. Measuring 5.5" tall ( closed) open, it can be 7" tall X with a 3-7/8" wide base Weighs 1.25 Oz. United States, 1950
