About the Item
Fabulous 1930s Art Deco Red and Black Enamel Combination Lighter and Cigarette Case Chrome and Enamel Geometric Design
This fabulous 1930s Art Deco combination lighter and cigarette case exemplifies the bold geometric elegance and sophisticated materials that define the era’s most desirable accessories.
The piece features a striking red and black enamel design accented by sleek chrome lines, forming a dramatic geometric pattern typical of high-style Art Deco design. The reverse side displays a textured pebbled finish reminiscent of shagreen, adding visual and tactile contrast.
The cigarette case opens via dual push clasps located on either side of the lighter, revealing a beautifully detailed floral spring-loaded “T” arm designed to secure cigarettes in place — a luxurious and functional detail characteristic of fine European craftsmanship of the 1930s. The lighter mechanism moves smoothly, and while the internal components have not been tested or inventoried (to avoid potential damage), the form remains intact and display-ready.
Completely unsigned and unmarked, this piece may originate from France or Austria, where enamel and chrome Art Deco accessories flourished during the interwar period.
Condition:
The cigarette case opens and closes properly, though the spring door benefits from a light assist. The enamel remains vibrant and glossy with only minor age-appropriate wear. The lighter’s red and black enamel shows a faint hairline scratch, a small indentation, and three small darkened flecks in the red enamel. Please refer to photos for details.
A rare and beautifully preserved Art Deco cigarette and lighter combination, this piece makes a stunning addition to any collection of vintage smoking accessories, enamel objets d’art, or 1930s decorative design.

1933 Art Deco Marathon Combination Lighter / Cigarette Case by F. A. Whittaker
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...
