Original vintage magnetic metal cigarette case showcasing an exceptionally rare and sophisticated Soviet Tartan Plaid Guilloché engraving layout. This highly collectible piece was produced in the USSR around the 1950s by the celebrated Ukrainian artisan cooperative Artel Zarya Odessa (Артель «Заря» Одесса).
The front of the case features an incredibly intricate engine-turned texture, meticulously cut to replicate a traditional woven Scottish tartan check or plaid textile pattern using intersecting sets of vertical and horizontal micro-grooves. Crafted from durable magnetic metal with a heavy-duty frame and a polished silver-tone finish, this accessory displays a striking industrial Art Deco aesthetic. The frame retains the authentic and highly sought-after factory hallmark of the Odessa artel, making it an elite investment-grade acquisition for serious collectors of Eastern Bloc metallurgy.
Perfect for:
- advanced tobacciana and premium vintage smoking accessory collections
- minimalist mid-century modern and industrial textile pattern enthusiasts
- stylish everyday carry pocket organizers, business card holders, or credit card cases
