Description: Vintage Italian Silver .800 Cigarette Case. The 800 silver standard is an old European standard prior to the sterling standard of 925. 800 silver is 80% silver where sterling is 92.5% silver. I am not certain this is Italian as the only mark I can see is the 800 mark however I have other cases that look like this one, same style and engraving pattern so it most likely is Italian or another European country. Previously owned but in excellent condition. The only damage I can see is the bar on the inside that holds the cigarettes in place is broken or corroded on one side. See image of the bar. The entirety of this item is engraved with its pattern to include the sides. Item is old but is fully functional and besides the damage already described the item will have minor signs of wear such as scratches, patina and/or minor nick's or dents. Please check images. Case is approximately 3.75 x 3 x .38 inches. Case will accommodate up to 8 Cigarettes. Case weighs approximately 3.3 Troy oz. or 99 grams. You can only place cigarettes in one direction in this case. The case could use a good cleaning inside and out. ***CIGARETTES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN SALE AND ARE FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY. I do not know the history of this case but considering that 800 silver is an old standard this case is most likely pretty old. I have no idea who the manufacturer is and there are no markings except the 800 mark. Since 800 silver was a European standard it would be a good bet this is European and most likely Italian. Case would make an excellent addition to any collection or would make a great gift for that smoker in your life. Sterling Silver cigarette cases that hold modern filtered cigarettes are not very common as most sterling cases were manufactured before filtered cigarettes were the norm. Feel free to shoot me an email for any questions. I will ship Globally. ***AGAIN PLEASE NOTE CIGARETTES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN SALE AND ARE FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY!!!
