MW & Co Jeweled Cigarette Holder & Matchbox Caddy

Antique 1920s Cigarette Pack and Match Box Holder Red Green Jeweled Ormolu Filigree MW&Co Vintage Art Deco Boudoir.

This combination cigarette pack and match box combo caddy possesses richly garnished intricate filigree set with red and green glass jewels.

Measures 3" high, 3 7/8" wide. Lovely etched design and all "jewels" intact.

Base is marked with the MWC Co. mark.

This is an item from my personal collection of jeweled filigree vanity accessories dating to the 1920s period. All photos are mine.

MWC Co. This is the mark for M.W. Carr & Co out of Boston/West Somerville, MASS (1868-1995). I have seen this mark on several different items over the years. MW Carr & Co was formed by Martin W Carr and was a manufacturer of "Fancy Metal Goods, Jewelry and Novelties". They started in Boston in 1868 and moved operations to West Somerville in 1894. The mark is MWC in a diamond with CO below it. These pieces were marked on the bottom often with a mold number.
