I found these on eBay, and the seller's description says it all ...
"This gorgeous solid stainless steel case measures 4" x 2.75" x 1/2". It has a strong latch and a spring-opening mechanism. The internal cigarette or card holder is held in place with a spring.
All work is done in our Central California studio. After the image is inserted the top is filled with a crystal-clear, waterproof, UV-resistant glossy polymer. This makes the image amazingly vivid and virtually indestructible.
The case is perfect for a driver's license, business cards, coins, bills, credit cards, cigarettes (long or regular) or nearly anything else. IT'S NOT JUST FOR SMOKERS. The polished steel inside lid makes a great mirror.
The case comes bubble-wrapped, boxed, and gift-wrapped with a blank gift card."
I bought one of these cigarette cases, and I was pleased to discover that "ToFunkyTown"
also make these with your own custom designs (for only $5.00 more!), so I had one made with the Vampilore logo on it as well!
Recently they have expanded their range to include covers from the Warren era Vampirella magazines, so they now have nine different Vampirella cigarette cases.
They are nice items, but not that sturdy (I doubt that they would survive too much regular daily use for very long - well, not in my world anyway!).
The price is quite reasonable for a novelty item, and the finish is very good. So if you are tempted go ahead and get one, you won't be disappointed. |
