This is a vintage rectangular metal cigarette tin featuring rounded corners and a hinged lid construction. The metal displays a heavily patinated and worn exterior with a mottled, textured finish that may have originally featured a decorative pattern. Red printed text is visible along the hinge edge reading WESTERN GERMANY and on one shorter side panel reading 20 CIGARETTES. The markings indicate the item was manufactured in West Germany post-1949 and was designed to hold a standard pack of 20 cigarettes.
