Rare vintage pocket cigarette case crafted in the USSR, featuring an exceptionally detailed and sharp high-relief artistic depiction of the iconic Lenin State Library (now the Russian State Library) in Moscow.
The front of the case showcases the grand neoclassical architecture of the famous Soviet library building, complete with its monumental columns, statues, and tiered rotunda roof topped with a flag. The central scene is beautifully enclosed within a large circular frame, surrounded by exquisite floral and leaf scrollwork flourishes at each corner. At the base of the architecture, a ribbon scroll banner reads the stylized inscription "Библиотека им. Ленина" (Lenin Library). Made from premium cupronickel (melchior alloy) with a brilliant silver-tone finish, this highly collectible mid-century pocket case carries the authentic historical hallmark inside: "ММП З-д Металлодеталь" (MMP Metallodetal Plant). The side locking mechanism is completed with a smooth mechanical push-button accented by a polished brown cabochon stone insert.
