    Vintage/Antique Rare/Hard to find Pres-A-Lite 1940s automatic cigarette dispenser. The black art deco Bakelite material is in excellent condition. Includes the original clamp to attach to the steering column and the wire plug to go into the cigarette lighter socket. I do not have the original box but this appears to be a NOS unit that has never been used. The original operation was to load up the hump-back cannister with your brand of cigarettes. When you wanted a smoke, you would push down on the hidden chrome tray at the bottom. The drop-down tray would dispense a cigarette while a side paddle pushed it over to the left where a heat coil is activated, lighting the cigarette hands free! The original instruction sheet is included as it was inside the unit when I got it years ago.
    Very rare & interesting vintage car accessory for your collection! $160 shipped in USA only. Contact me here on the HAMB with questions or to purchase.
