Original vintage Japanese wooden cigarette dispenser featuring a charming mechanical bird mechanism.
Its operation is as simple as it is entertaining: by pushing down the lever, the bird lowers, and a cigarette is automatically dispensed from the storage compartment, presented in the bird's beak, ready to be taken. The mechanism is fully functional and, during operation, the sound of the internal spring can be heard.
The structure is made of wood with geometric decorative patterns and colorful figural details on the lid of the cigarette compartment. The word "Japan" is visible on the underside. The piece shows light signs of wear, minor abrasions, and normal traces of age and use, all consistent with its age and original purpose, without affecting either its overall appearance or the proper functioning of the mechanism.
Note: Measurements are approximate and may vary slightly depending on the point from which they are taken.
