Rare antique pocket cigarette case from the 1930s to 1940s era, masterfully carved entirely from natural wood. This highly collectible piece represents a classic military souvenir or trench art accessory, which soldiers frequently purchased from garrison stores or commissioned directly from skilled regimental craftsmen.
The front lid showcases a highly detailed, hand-carved high-relief depicting a fierce heraldic eagle with spreading wings, grasping a flagpole or standard in its talons. Flowing along the bottom is an elegant ribbon scroll banner carved with the historic motto "Gott mit uns" (God with us) in a stylized gothic script, set against a dark textured stippled background that makes the woodwork pop. Built with exceptional mechanical ingenuity, the case is equipped with a functional metal push-button mechanism (brass or steel). When pressed, it instantly activates a responsive internal spring system, causing the wooden lid to automatically flip open.
Perfect for:
- tobacciana and antique match/cigarette case collections
