    DESCRIPTION:
    Offered for your review and consideration is this absolutely fantastic, estate fresh and new to the marketplace, early 20th century American vintage tobacciana artifact. It's both a cigarette dispenser and tobacco humidor, dispensing rolled cigarettes from its interior metal hopper with brass push button control and storing them inside, kept fresh with its round, fitted lid. The body of the dispenser is lathe-turned but the face of a female gypsy or magician figure is hand carved and hand painted. Like toy banks of the period, this isn't just a still cigarette dispenser but a mechanical one, with moving parts and a kinetic dispensing mechanism. Not only does it still work, but it's also simply a beautiful antique artifact. The hand carved face sits on a flat wood plank attached to the lathe-turned body. The fitted round lid is shaved flat on one side where it sits against the back of the facia. Straight, unfiltered cigarettes are loaded into the hopper on top and dispensed through a hole in the figure's mouth. Thrilling. Top shelf.
