Produced by the Cheshire CT firm of Bovano (started in 1953 by John BOnsignor, Gene VAn Leight and Warren NOden), this 10 inch long x 4 inch wide covered cigarette box features an 5 1/2 inch x 3 1/2 inch enamel top which has been fitted into the lid.
What is most unusual about this covered box is that it contains two compartiments. Though I assume it was for cigarettes, perhaps it was for playing cards. The enamel lid has a bold stylized red and chocolate brown background onto which patterns of C scrolls in brown have been superimposed creating a two dimensional effect. It is one of Bovano's most fanciful designs.
The bottom of the wooden box has four brown felt pads. The inside of the lid has the majority of the gold circle label which reads Handcrafted by Bovano of Cheshire Conn. It is in excellent shape. Add it to your Mid-Century Enamel collection today |
