Collector’s Notes
Travel souvenir cigarette cases have a nice crossover appeal: part useful object, part graphic keepsake, part small piece of everyday history. This one works especially well for someone drawn to British maps, London ephemera, or compact desk and bookshelf objects with a little story behind them.
A smart small collectible with a strong English travel feel.
