Once upon a time, Colt Firearms made their own version of bakelite, a heat resistant early plastic for gun handles called Coltrock, aka Colt Rock, Colt Bakelite, Colt Plastic. Specialty items Colt made of this bakelite included buttons, cosmetic cases, and humidors/cigarette boxes, like this one, styled to look like a book, called, The Courtship of Lady Nicotine. Does it get more noir than this? This box still has its original ashtray. The original flint is missing. We will include a piece of cuttable striker material as well. These boxes are extremely scarce. Can be used as originally meant, or as a stash box for other smokables and edibles, a writer’s or artist’s box for pens, brushes, ink, paper, etc. A sewing case, a book safe.
