Description
Vintage metal cigarette case with an embossed map of Australia, including Tasmania, named towns and cities, and state boundaries. The silver-tone front has a finely lined background, while the reverse has a textured finish.
The hinged case opens to a gold-tone interior with a retaining bar. Its map design makes it an appealing piece of Australian souvenir memorabilia, whether displayed with travel keepsakes, vintage personal accessories or tobacciana.
Australian map cigarette cases form part of the country’s souvenir history. Their appeal lies in the combination of a familiar everyday object with place names and decorative map detail. This example offers a compact display piece for a collector with an interest in Australian travel and material culture.
