Vintage Mascotte Automatic Cigarette Rollbox & Tobacco Tin – Excellent Condition
A beautiful authentic vintage Mascotte Rollbox, combining a clever automatic cigarette-rolling mechanism with a compact tobacco storage tin. A wonderful piece of vintage tobacciana, it showcases the practical yet stylish design that made Mascotte products so distinctive.
The exterior features an elegant engine-turned linear Art Deco-style pattern, with a central engraved medallion displaying the classic Mascotte name and logo, complemented by a decorative Fleur-de-lis motif. The overall design gives the box a timeless vintage appearance and makes it an interesting collectible as well as a functional piece.
The rollbox is in excellent overall condition for its age. The metal case remains straight and well preserved, with only light signs of age and use that are visible in the photographs and add to its authentic vintage character. There are no major dents, serious damage, or structural problems.
The mechanism works smoothly and correctly. The hinges are straight, the case opens and closes properly, aligns well, and shuts firmly. The internal arms operate smoothly, while the original textured cloth rolling apron/blind is intact and firmly attached, with no major tears or damage.
The interior is also particularly well preserved for an item of this age, retaining its original components and functionality.
Please review all the close-up photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and provide the most accurate representation of the item's cosmetic condition, including any small marks, patina, or signs of age that may be present.
Overall, this is a very well-preserved vintage Mascotte Rollbox in excellent mechanical and overall condition, ideal for a collector of vintage tobacciana, advertising pieces, old smoking accessories, or anyone who appreciates beautifully designed mechanical objects from the past.
