c1950s Hollywood Regency 3-pc Switzerland Made Stylized Oyster Shell Ashtray & Coordinating Match Box
This listing reflects a moment in time when smoking was considered rich and glamorous. It was also recognized as a gesture of adoration when a cigarette would be seductively offered between lovers.
This ultra glam oyster shell ashtray and coordinating match box (with original matches!) set is in very good condition. It is made of lustrous goldtone metal, and light age-related wear can be seen on the gold gilt paint. The ashtrays don't appear to have been used, or at most, very minimally used. The match box cover shows gentle wear and will arrive with its original box of matches. See all photos for detail.
