Once upon a time, smoking was considered a chic and sophisticated mannerism. The wide-spread use of tobacco products, fostered by the glamour, mystery, and romance evinced in spectacular films, musicals, and novels of the 20's, 30's, and 40's, created an enormous demand for accessories to facilitate smoking. Antique and vintage lighters from Zippo, Ronson, Tiffany, Cartier, Chase, and Dunhill; cigarette dispensers ranging from figural to utilitarian; 50's table top and Art Deco floor standing ashtrays; matchbooks with unique graphics and advertising businesses...all are part of this exciting category of collecting.
