Art Deco Lot of 3 Cigarette & Cigar Holders; Butterscotch, Galalith & Cherry Red

Type: Cigar & Cigarette Holders
Era: Vintage Art Deco (1920s–1940s)
Materials: Galalith (Casein Plastic), Lucite, Gold-Tone Metal Rim
Quantity: Lot of 3
Modified Item: No

Short Butterscotch Cigar Holder: Galalith (casein) body with a protective gold-tone metal rim around the tip aperture. Measures standard cigar/cheroot gauge.
Long Butterscotch Cigarette Holder: Classic slim profile Galalith body with a gold-tone metal rim around the tip aperture.
Cherry Red Cigar/Cheroot Holder: Deep translucent cherry-red Lucite/acrylic piece with a flared, contoured mouthpiece.

Galalith Identification: The butterscotch pieces produce a characteristic organic/damp scent indicative of early Galalith (casein milk protein plastic). They sank during a saltwater density test, ruling out natural amber.
Unmarked Rims: The metal bands show gold-tone plating with subtle age patina, but carry no visible precious metal hallmarks or maker's marks.

The cherry red holder and short yellow holder are in very good vintage condition with light surface wear, micro-scratches, and minor patina on the metal band appropriate for age.

The long butterscotch holder shows visible wear at the mouthpiece (please review the close-up photos). This is classic surface crazing and chalky oxidation typical of aging Galalith exposed to moisture over decades.

The cherry red Lucite cigar holder shows very light use.

No structural cracks through the body or loose metal bands. Sold as-is as vintage collectibles.
