Cigarette dispenser

Black and brass bakelite star cigarette dispenser, circa 1940. Its particularity. It is also a music box that is triggered when the dispenser is opened. The musical mechanism works but is a bit tired (music plays slowly). No cigarette tip missing: there are 18 of them. Trace of use on the opening and closing button of the box whose zinc (which makes up brass) has been attacked, revealing mainly copper hence its pink color. This antique cigarette dispenser is a beautiful decorative or collector's item. More photos on request.
