🌹This beautiful cigarette box is a rare vintage Daniel Marshall lacquered box made of a special and rare wood-I WISH I could remember what it is-(I think it might be Zebra Wood-Has some iridescence under the lacquer~) Handmade in California at Daniel’s factory-with attention to exquisite detail, this unique item would be a prized possession for collectors of tobacco memorabilia. He makes the #1 Luxury Humidor IN THE WORLD~ type his name into the web-and wow!
🌹I knew Daniel a couple of years into this endeavor-he had built a sailboat from his own specifications, and had devised a unique almost invisible hinge design-it meant one could open his boxes with one hand, looking very smooth and suave! And look beautiful at the same time…He then segued into designing fine Cigarette Boxes, Humidors, jewelry boxes and gorgeous desktop accessories, etc-even his own line of fine cigars! It was/is a very successful enterprise, and he was almost immediately selling to Dunhill among others-(when I met him in Cannes one summer long ago, he was there for meetings with several big-time high-end purveyors-) His pieces have become desired collectors’ items; the striking design, quality of craftsmanship and exotic materials have made wonderful pieces to acquire for any enthusiast of smoking accessories. And they are just plain classy! I mean-if one is going to smoke…
🌹The box holds 10 cigarettes of any size…or-other smoking materials~ the bottom of the box has a gold tone plate for engraving-this was my personal box; I just never had it done…it is highly lacquered, so there are light surface scratches from spending time in my purses over the years I smoked-I have a couple more of Daniel-designed boxes I will be listing-another, possibly more masculine cigarette box, of lacquered Madagascar Ebony wood, and a very cool matte Burled Briar Wood business card holder. They have also been used, but are in VERY good condition as well. Originally DM items sold for hundreds and into thousands of $; hard to find, I didn’t find any other DM cigarette boxes on ; I believe he phased them out in lieu of cigar accoutrements eventually…due to many boomers ceasing to smoke!
The box has a protective fabric sleeve that was designed to go over it.
🌹If I can find someone to help me, I will try to get a vid of opening the box with one hand, though my shaky old hand with nearly non-working thumbs provide the minimum to accomplish this smoothly-
