New use for an old cigarette case

[DeaconKC]

Well, I don't smoke, but hand out a lot of business cards. I found an older cigarette case in a flea market for a buck and decided to try it out. Works great with business cards and gets a lot of compliments. Anybody else using oldies like this for anything else?

I have a great cigarette case that I keep earrings in.

I hold money in mine when I don't feel like holding my beaten to death, bulky wallet.

I've used one as a wallet for years.

Mine's a wallet too.

Mine too; I was lucky enough to find one just the right size for credit cards, etc. At £14 for a solid silver case, I thought that it offered far better value for money than any wallet I might find, as well as durability - plus I like it as a thing.

When I went to the Gatsby event in September, I filled both my cigarette cases with candy cigarettes. It made a big impression. The rest of the time, it contains various other things.

Hey, how about posting pictures of your cigarette cases.

I have a picture of mine, just have to find it.

I use mine - not for cigarettes, since I do not smoke'em -
but for small cigarillos.
Here it is:

money on one side ... c card, atm, license on the other ... perfect when I don't want to carry my truckers chain wallet

EXCELLENT idea, I have a 1920's/Golden Era New Years function to go to! I own two vintage cigarette cases - now I just need to find some candy cigarette's.

If you cant find candy cigarettes, how bout peppermint sticks?

Like Wil Tam, I carry just a few things in mine (Dr. License, Credit card and cash) but I really only use it during the summertime when I'm wearing shorts and a tank top.

I bought this about 30 years ago at a neighborhood "garage" sale when I was visiting a friend in DC. I love it. I think I paid $3.50 for it.

Saw the same one on eBay. It was going for more than that!

I couldn't believe they were selling it. It was (and still is) so beautiful.
