cigarette container?
I found this detecting St, Johns island SC at an old church yard. I was thinking maybe a cigarette container. What would the approximate age of this be?

Re: cigarette container?
Depending on how old it is, there were no "king size" cigarettes for years. It undoubtedly had a liner glued inside at one time. No idea of it's age, but prior to there being king size cigarettes. Oh, and I agree it's a cigarette box. Monty

I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines. I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.

Size: 5 3/4 in across x 4 1/2 long
Color: Ivory and Gold
Type: Chesterfield CrownTin Cigarette Case
Country of Origin: United States

Re: cigarette container?
The ones I have seen didn't hold a whole pack of smokes so they wouldn't have to be thick enough to hold a pack. There were some old plastic ones that held a pack as I recall. Monty
