CIGARETTE KEEPER



This little red cup came from China in the early 1920's.  We inherited it from my husband's parents who were stationed in China with the Navy at that time.  It was designed to hold cigarettes and worked well for them until they came out with filtered cigarettes which no longer fit.  Fortunately by that time they had quit smoking anyway.  I just plopped a pear on top and was good to go....

Enjoy (now I get to eat the pear)!
