French, purchased at an auction in Quebec in 1996.Ā I am suspicious of the age because it was bought at auction in Quebec from an auctioneer who imported shipping containers of antiques from France.Ā Top of trunk is wood--type unknown--and some kind of cover.Ā The green and gold cover seems to be some kind of linoleum or some other material.Ā The brass hardware is unique and has a sun-king type of logo.Ā I have never seen this logo before.

My uncle bought this item at auction years ago.Ā Beyond that, I know nothing.
This item was purchase for me by a family friend at an antique shop- I had it restored and now play it. It has marks on the back of the bridge that connects to the body.Ā (see images)Ā There are no inside brandings. Just looking for some more information one where this instrument came from. The man who restored it for us said it was early 20th century
Early Flapper Cigarette Dispenser
Lever type, make in the 1920's - probably between 1925-1930.Ā The lever type dispenser was the predacessor to the plunger type dispenser, making this the first type, thus more valuable I am sure.Ā Item is made of wood and has a removable lid with cavat for refilling cigarettes.Ā On the front of the dispenser is a lady wearing a turbin fashioned with feathers and jewels.Ā There are no markings to know for sure that this was manufactured by Kendall & Jackson out of San Francisco, but that is what I have been told.Ā The cigarettes are dispensed through her mouth.Ā There is some light wear to the turbin where a small piece has fallen off over the years.Ā She wears 2 earrings as well.Ā There are some places on the dispenser where the coloring has rubbed off a bit.Ā The feathers on the turbin are in good condition and the felt on the bottom of the dispenser is original and in very good condition.
