A vintage Kingcraft cigarette case, made in England and dating from approximately the 1950s.
Measuring around 11 x 8.5 cm, the silver-tone case has a crisp engine-turned pattern to both sides, framed with polished borders. The central cartouche is engraved with the name “Louise.”
Inside it is marked Kingcraft, Made in England, with the maker’s distinctive K-in-a-hexagon mark. The interior retains its contrasting gold-tone finish and original elastic retaining straps.
There are light surface marks from previous use and some ageing to the interior, but the engine turning remains sharply defined. The hinge is strong and the case closes securely.
The personalised engraving adds a lovely bit of social history to an otherwise classic piece of mid-century British metalware.
