VTG Japanese Mechanical Bird Cigarette Dispenser Box Art Deco Radio Wood WORKING For Sale

Vintage Japanese Mechanical "Pecking Bird" Novelty Cigarette Dispenser Box**Theme:** Art Deco Cathedral Radio (Front Panel) & Sailing Ship (Lid)**Era:** Circa 1930s - 1950s**Origin:** Made in Japan (Authentic Diamond Maker's Stamp on Base)**Condition:** 100% Fully Operational / Excellent Mechanical Condition---### ⚙️ MECHANISM & FUNCTIONALITY STATUS
Unlike the vast majority of these vintage novelty boxes found today, this piece is fully complete and functions smoothly every single time! When you pull the lid open, the clever internal gravity-linkage system automatically splits the interior wood floor panels open. The hand-painted wooden bird (crane/woodpecker style) dives deep into the basement reservoir, grabs a cigarette (or substitute) perfectly in its beak, and lifts it up to present it to you as the floor flaps snap shut behind it. *Tested successfully with 3” crayons to ensure alignment and grip strength are intact.*### 🎨 DESIGN & COSMETIC DETAILS
This is a premium and highly collectible variety featuring a beautiful wood-charred pyrography design on the front panel that mimics a classic Art Deco Cathedral Radio, complete with inlaid dials. The lid boasts a highly detailed yosegi-zaiku style marquetry wood inlay of a sailing ship at sea, framed by a gorgeous geometric diamond border. * **Materials:** Hardwoods, mild-steel mechanical hinges, hand-painted focal bird.* **Cosmetic Condition:** Very Good Vintage. It shows a warm, honest aging patina to the wood grain. Expect minor, age-appropriate surface scuffs on the lid corners and slight paint wear on the bird's beak—all confirming its authentic 70+ year old history. No cracks, missing wood chunks, or loose hinges.### 💡 PERFECT FOR COLLECTORS & HOME DECOR
An incredible conversation piece! While originally designed as a mid-century tobacciana item, it makes a brilliant novelty desk organizer, toothpick dispenser, home bar accent, or unique gift for fans of mechanical marvels and Art Deco styling.---
