This is a Carved Inlaid Wood Mechanical Cigarette Dispenser . DESCRIPTION: The Cigarette Dispenser is in the form of a storage box and bird. The cigarettes are lodaded into the top part of the box (unfiltered only as filtered are too long to fit in).When the lever next to the bird is pushed, the bird dips its head and at the same time the bottom part of the box slides forward to reveal a single cigarette that fits into the bird's beak. When the lever is released the bird lifts the cigarette so that it can be taken - very Retro! I have seen many of these stamped with the Made in Occupied Japan stamp, but on this one the words are almost illegible - see photos. CONDITION: This Cigarette Dispenser is in good used condition and the mechanism works well, but there is some paint loss and the bird's tail is missing - please see photos. MEASUREMENTS: The Cigarette Dispenser is 9 cm high, 17 cm across, and the total unpacked weight is 200 grams. POSTAGE AND PACKING: All items are wrapped in either bubble wrap or tissue and sent in a strong box, cardboard outer or mailing bag as appropriate. The estimated packed weight is 530 grams. Postage to UK will be £4 by 1st class Recorded, to Europe it will be £10 and rest of world £13 by International Signed For. I will combine postage wherever possible to give you the biggest discount I can. I can read more
