Art Deco Lot of 3 Cigarette & Cigar Holders; Butterscotch, Galalith & Cherry Red

  • Type: Cigar & Cigarette Holders
  • Era: Vintage Art Deco (1920s–1940s)
  • Materials: Galalith (Casein Plastic), Lucite, Gold-Tone Metal Rim
  • Quantity: Lot of 3
  • Modified Item: No

  1. Short Butterscotch Cigar Holder: Galalith (casein) body with a protective gold-tone metal rim around the tip aperture. Measures standard cigar/cheroot gauge.
  2. Long Butterscotch Cigarette Holder: Classic slim profile Galalith body with a gold-tone metal rim around the tip aperture.
  3. Cherry Red Cigar/Cheroot Holder: Deep translucent cherry-red Lucite/acrylic piece with a flared, contoured mouthpiece.

  • Galalith Identification: The butterscotch pieces produce a characteristic organic/damp scent indicative of early Galalith (casein milk protein plastic). They sank during a saltwater density test, ruling out natural amber.
  • Unmarked Rims: The metal bands show gold-tone plating with subtle age patina, but carry no visible precious metal hallmarks or maker\'s marks.

  • The cherry red holder and short yellow holder are in very good vintage condition with light surface wear, micro-scratches, and minor patina on the metal band appropriate for age.
  • The long butterscotch holder shows visible wear at the mouthpiece (please review the close-up photos). This is classic surface crazing and chalky oxidation typical of aging Galalith exposed to moisture over decades.
  • The cherry red Lucite cigar holder shows very light use.
  • No structural cracks through the body or loose metal bands. Sold as-is as vintage collectibles.
