Original vintage metal cigarette case featuring a classic Soviet Art Deco sports relief artwork titled "Speed Skater" (Конькобежец). This highly collectible piece was produced in the Soviet Union around the 1950s by the famous Moscow factory/artel Mosshtamp (Мосштамп).
The front design showcases a dynamic, sleekly stylized embossed scene of a speed skater in mid-stride on ice, set inside a textured rectangular frame. The overall case body is beautifully decorated with an elegant pattern of alternating polished horizontal stripes. Crafted from brass and steel, the piece shows an exceptional, authentic dual-tone aesthetic with warm gold-tone/brass highlights contrasting against the silver-tone base metal. The rim near the hinge retains its authentic factory mark stamped clearly into the frame: "Мосштамп" (MOSSHTAMP).
