Vintage Mid-Century Pop-Up Cigarette Dispenser with Eagle Finial and Inlaid Stars - A mid-20th-century mechanical pop-up cigarette dispenser of cylindrical form. The exterior casing is finished in a dark blue polished material and features multiple inlaid silver-toned five-pointed stars. The device is constructed with a brass-toned metal lid and a central riser rod, which is surmounted by a cast metal finial in the form of a spread-wing eagle. When the finial is lifted, the internal mechanism deploys, revealing a fanned circular arrangement of individual brass-coloured cigarette holders. The construction utilizes a combination of metal and likely a synthetic resin or plastic for the body. No manufacturer marks, patent dates, or branding are visible on the exterior or the visible portions of the mechanism.
