Description

This is a vintage mid-century Elgin American “Magic Action Lite-O-Matic” cigarette case with an integrated petrol lighter, crafted in gold-tone brass. The case features an elegant engine-turned diamond pattern on the front with an ornate cartouche engraved “Vera Casali,” and the lighter mechanism includes a safety lock, characteristic of Elgin American’s precision craftsmanship. Measuring 5" high by 3" wide, the piece is in good vintage condition, showing surface scratches and patina consistent with age and use.
