About the Item
1930s Art Deco Silver-Plated and Burgundy Red Enamel Cigarette Case
This striking 1930s Art Deco cigarette case features a bold and elegant design of diagonal silver-plated bands set against a field of rich burgundy red enamel, also known as Indian red. The combination of the lustrous silver plate and the deep, glossy enamel creates a dynamic contrast emblematic of the Art Deco period’s fascination with geometry and luxury.
Both sides of the case display this sophisticated pattern, reflecting the symmetry and attention to detail characteristic of the era. The case opens to reveal two interior compartments originally designed to hold cigarettes. The interior shows a lovely patina and some discoloration from age, adding to its vintage charm.
Overall, there is general wear consistent with age and use, including minor enamel losses on the sides and corners and some discoloration to the silver plate, as shown in photos. Despite this, the piece retains its captivating presence and elegant Deco style.
A fine addition to any collection of Art Deco smoking accessories or vintage enameled objets d’art, this case is both display-worthy and collectible. A truly timeless example of early 20th-century design.

Located in Red Lion, PA
1933 Art Deco Marathon Combination Lighter & Cigarette Case by F. A. Whittaker
A rare and collectible example of 1930s novelty smoking accessories, this Marathon combination lighter and cigarette case showcases the elegance and innovation of Art Deco design. Crafted in 1933 by noted designer F. A. Whittaker, the case features a stunning airbrushed geometric pattern in alternating tan/black and grey/black abstract motifs, with a central cartouche that remains unengraved. The reverse is finished in a sophisticated grey and black design, emphasizing the clean, streamlined aesthetic typical of the era.
The interior reveals meticulous attention to detail, including a wheel-turned chrome finish, two hinged cigarette holders for added functionality, and a built-in lighter stamped with US Patent No. 1921855 and marked “Marathon, Trade Mark, Pat Applied For.” Lighter fuel can easily be added via the side compartment near the hinge, and the interior remains exceptionally clean and free of issues.
This piece shows gentle, expected wear, including minor enamel losses and an indentation at the lower left corner of the case, reflecting its authentic vintage character. Despite these imperfections, it remains a fully functional and highly desirable collector’s item.
Marathon cigarette cases were celebrated in the early 20th century for their combination of practicality and artistry, and F. A. Whittaker was a prominent designer whose work elevated everyday smoking accessories into objects of sophistication. Collectors prize these cases for their mechanical ingenuity, stylish Art Deco design, and historical significance, making them a standout addition to any collection of vintage lighters...
