Vintage State Express Cigarette Box
This is a vintage brass cigarette box, featuring the branding ‘State Express’. The box is rectangular with a hinged lid and contains a collection of cigarette cards within. The brass has a warm patina consistent with age and use, and the box’s construction suggests it dates to the mid-20th century. The inclusion of the cigarette cards adds to its appeal as a piece of tobacciana and a glimpse into advertising history.
Condition and Collectibility
The cigarette box shows signs of wear commensurate with its age, including minor scratches and surface marks to the brass. The cigarette cards within are also vintage and show signs of handling. This box would be of interest to collectors of tobacciana, vintage advertising, or brassware, and offers a charming piece of history.
