Antique 14ct Gold Telescopic Cigarette Holder
Just. Unbelievable. This is the epitome of luxury, a gold telescopic ciggie holder, that miraculously folds back into itself to be stored away neatly in its perfect little case, complete with monogram (MO or OM?) and teeny ruby thumb piece. Hang it from your longguard, why don't you? Bougee or what?!
The craftsmanship here is just bonkers. The precision required to make these perfect interlocking tubes is mind-blowing. The little mouthpiece, I believe, is amber, tricky to test without damaging it, and it is immaculate, so I don't want to be changing that.
Think of the conversations this trinket would spark. Imagine the 1920s babe who whipped this out at parties, if only it could talk!
To extend the holder, simply n hold o to the larged (lipped) section and let the other parts come down. Pull taught gently and you're good! To fold back down gently push both ends towards each other. No force required!
