Length 3 1/8 inches (7.9 cm), approximately 2.4 ounces (75 grams), all in.
In good condition. Light surface wear, consistent with age and use. The leather case is separating at seams on one side but is still intact. The Faberge wood case is original, but the velvet lined base has been refitted. It did not originally go with this gold cigarette case.
