About the Item
Ultra Rare Art Deco 1930s Slideout Red
Black Cigarette Case with Original Box
A true rarity of Art Deco design, this ingenious 1930s “Slideout” cigarette case combines striking style with an unusually inventive form. Unlike traditional cigarette cases of the period that fully enclosed their contents, this piece features a side-hinged construction that allows cigarettes—or even a full cigarette pack—to be held securely while still partially visible. A cleverly designed slideout opening on the edge of the case lets the user dispense a cigarette without fully opening the case, making it both stylish and practical for the modern smoker of the Jazz Age.
The exterior is decorated in bold red and black enamel, a quintessential Art Deco color pairing. One end features a linear motif in alternating enamel stripes, while the reverse is a sleek expanse of solid black enamel. The interior is engraved “SLIDE OUT PAT PENDING”, attesting to its experimental design.
This piece is presented with its original Art Deco retail box, a rarity in itself. The outer box displays wonderful period graphics in vibrant cream and black, with some expected wear and corner separations. Inside, the original protective cotton sleeve also remains, showing edge tears and bunching from age but offering remarkable completeness for a 90-year-old accessory.
Condition: The cigarette case itself is in very good vintage condition, retaining its enamel brilliance and original mechanism. There is a surface scratch to the back in the black enamel, as well as a small imperfection in the lower right back enamel. These do not detract from the strong visual impact and functionality of the piece. The original outer box shows corner separation and a small loss of paper at the upper edge, while the cotton sleeve shows age wear as described.
Cigarette cases of the 1930s were essential accessories, symbolizing sophistication and modernity. Experimental designs such as this “Slideout” version were produced in far smaller numbers than standard hinged cases, making surviving examples extremely scarce. To find one not only intact but still accompanied by its original box and sleeve is exceptionally rare. For collectors of Art Deco smoking accessories or those with a passion for avant-garde design, this is a museum-quality acquisition.
