About the Item

Antique early 20th Century Dunhill silver plated cigarette case shaped hip flask with a consealed twist list. This case was made in Britain (Fabrication Anglaise), patent number 10757/22, Dunhill. Crafted during the legendary era of prohibition, this extraordinary artifact stands as a testament to the creativity born out of the need for secrecy. Imagined and brought to life during a time when the consumption of alcoholic beverages was prohibited, this remarkable item found itself in the possession of a European adventurer exploring the United States. Ingeniously designed, this object served a dual purpose – not only did it reflect the innovative spirit of its time, but it also catered to the desires of a traveler who wished to indulge in his preferred libation discreetly. Its significance lies in its ability to conceal the favorite tipple of our European voyager, allowing him to enjoy the pleasures of his chosen drink in the face of stringent regulations. As a product of its historical context, this fabulous item is a tangible link to an era characterised by clandestine gatherings and hidden revelries. Beyond its functional attributes, it represents a defiance against the restrictions imposed by prohibition, embodying the resourcefulness and resilience of those who sought to enjoy life's pleasures despite the challenges imposed by the law. The intricate craftsmanship and concealed functionality of this artifact make it a captivating relic, offering a glimpse into the intriguing stories of a bygone era.
