A Unique Musical Dispenser

This is a vintage Japanese ‘Lady Mate’ musical cigarette dispenser. The dispenser features a striking red spherical body, supported by a chrome base and topped with a chrome cylindrical column. Adorned with decorative charms, this dispenser is a delightful example of mid-century novelty items, designed to add a touch of whimsy to social gatherings. The dispenser is designed to hold and dispense cigarettes with a musical chime when activated.

Condition and Collectibility

This dispenser shows signs of age and use, with some minor wear to the chrome and surface scratches to the red body. The musical mechanism is untested, and its functionality is not guaranteed. Despite this, it remains a highly collectible piece, appealing to enthusiasts of vintage Japanese items, musical novelties, and cigarette memorabilia. It would make a unique addition to any collection or display.
