Darlings, who wouldn’t adore this little vintage coffin-shaped musical cigarette box? A simple wind up begins the Funeral March as a deliciously creepy skeleton rises from the coffin to offer you a cigarette, doubtless a ghoulishly playful rub on the term “coffin nail.” One does have to wonder what the matching table lighter would look like….

I once live next door to a man who had one of those! Thanks for the weird memories!

Nothing sounds creepier than a music box or an organ…
There are certainly no shortage of creepy organs out there.
That’s true. 😀
I like this – I have a vintage cigarette box here that, when you open it, there are three “sleeves” the open up at different angles. Very classy!
Ooo, love it!
I have one of these sitting on my desk right now.
That’s quite a find, David! 😉
I will buy this from you!! Please contact me!
I have one of these my father gave me years ago. I’m wondering if it has any value? It works great.
