**Item:** Vintage Mid-Century Filigree Cigarette Case / Card Holder Wallet
**Era:** Circa 1940s - 1950s
**Maker:** Unmarked, explicitly stamped "MADE IN U.S.A." on the interior closure lip.**Condition Description (Selling AS IS):**
Up for sale is a beautiful vintage gold-toned metal cigarette case featuring an intricate, openwork filigree cover. The front is embellished with a central rosette cluster of red, blue, green, and clear rhinestones. * Stones & Filigree: ALL 12 rhinestones are original, present, and firmly intact. The filigree overlay shows superb detail with no broken scrollwork.
* Interior: Features a spring-loaded tension arm with a geometric cutout tip, which functions perfectly to hold credit cards, business cards, or folded cash.
* Mechanics & Frame: The main hinge is secure, and the case snaps shut firmly. Please note there is a minor, shallow dent / slight wave along the outer edge of the frame on the lower-left side. This cosmetic detail does not affect the latch or how securely the case closes.
* Patina: This item is being sold in "as is," unpolished vintage condition. It shows normal, light surface wear, minor scuffs, and age-appropriate metal patina consistent with its age. I have not attempted to clean or polish it to preserve the original vintage finish. Please review all high-resolution photos closely as they are the primary part of the condition description.
