RARE VINTAGE MODERNIST ALFRED DUNHILL WHITE DOT 9CT GOLD 3 PARTS CIGARETTE HOLDER - FULLY MARKED, VERY FINE CONDITION

This rare and vintage ALFRED DUNHILL Cigarette Holder has a deeply engraved Modernist spiral on the gold holder. This piece carries the signature white dot on the stem. Under this dot is a stamped “DUNHILL” across the stem. The gold cigarette holder end has clear and concise markings. The stamps read, from left to right:  “9, .375 (for 9 carat gold); the date letter C (hallmarked for the year 1938); and the leopard head mark (for being assayed in London)”. In addition, there are the maker’s initials: “A D” (presumably for Alfred Dunhill). This piece is in excellent unused and mint condition, with the mouthpiece remaining unused. Made in England.

This very rare and unusual 3 Parts Cigarette holder has a solid 9K gold outside case which unscrews in the middle with cross hatched engraved design on the outside... There is a gold bail or ring on one side with larger gold circle ring presumably attaching so as not to get lost... Once unscrewed there is the top section which is hollow and the bottom which has the actual cigarette holder screwed down to a ridged top which holds it... The actual cigarette holder then can be pulled back to extend the length of the trumpet shaped 9K gold part (which hold the cigarette) and the amber arm which forms the pipe draw ~ marked with the trademark white dot (Dunhill) on the top... When finished the amber arm is pushed inside the 9K gold trumpet shaped section and which is then screwed on to the ridged top for storage... Then the top part of the outside cover case can be screwed in the middle to close the case....
