WUNUP GREEN BAKELITE CIGARETTE CASE – holds ten
A rare green Bakelite Wunup cigarette case, holds ten cigarettes, and is described as ‘One hand cigarette case’ – ‘slide the top and up they pop’. Four of the tops of springs are missing, so not sure how that would affect the ‘popping up’ mechanism on those four. Dates from the mid 1930’s to 40’s. The green colour makes this case very attractive and desirable – a change from the more common brown versions. Made in England. Great addition for your tobacciana collection!
Condition: Has a short split and chip to top of one side, and as mentioned tops of four springs missing inside – see photo. Sliding top has yellowed with age.
