    Description

    No longer "de rigueur" today but these cigarette boxes are still quite handy.  Right in the swing with the mid-century crowd.  This example caries the early Dearborn signature.  Changed with the company's move to Chicago.  Note that it is above the R, inverted so as not to take attention aways from the gothic lettering.  The Barbaric Jewels line featured matching ash trays and the HIS/HERs markings.  God forbid that their smokes or ashes would ever mingle. Thanks for looking and have fun with the auction.
