Vintage Mixed Collectibles Lot Including Cigarette Cases
This lot offers a varied selection of vintage and collectable items, presented together in a red velvet-lined box and laid out on a display surface. The assortment includes a silver-toned cigarette case with engraved decoration, a brass cylindrical object, and a green carved pendant or compact set in a metal mount. Among the visible contents are a Pierre Cardin designer collection box, a Stratton item within its packaging, and a H. Samuel “Wedding Keepsake” box containing a commemorative medallion. Smaller pieces include a gold-tone decorative item, a round brass compact, and a commemorative gold-tone medallion bearing the inscription “Les Amateurs de Jardins” and the date 1976. The mix of styles and materials makes this lot suitable for collectors of costume accessories, smokers’ items, and vintage dressing table pieces.
Condition and Collector Interest
The condition of individual items varies, and some show visible signs of age and handling, including wear to the boxes and surface marks on the metalwork. The contents have not been individually tested or verified, and no item in this lot is described as complete or in working order. Original packaging, including the Pierre Cardin and Stratton boxes and the H. Samuel keepsake box, adds to the period interest of the lot. Buyers may find it appealing as a collection to research, display, or break up for individual pieces, and it will particularly suit those building a collection of vintage smokers’ accessories or mixed collectables.
