I have a very old cigarette dispenser that my son bought as a gift for me at an antique shoppe in California. I would particularly like to know its origin and possibly its worth. It stands about 8 inches high, is wooden, and is stained a very dark brown. On the cylinderial shape, the front is cut away and features a womans head in wood, wearing a turbin made of cloth which is fraying from age. The woman is dark brown with skin the color of a black heritage but features are more caucausan. The lid lifts to reveal a chute that holds a package of the earlier, regular size ( before king size) cigarettes. A metal push button dispenses a cigarette out of the woman's mouth. Any info welcome.
