    This was my grandfather's. One person has called it a cigarette case and another has called it a calling card case. I am curious which one it is. Thank you.

      Size would tell - calling card case would be smaller

      My vote is cigarette case too. Non filters ;)

      Defiantly a cigarette case :-)
      Is it silver or plated ?? Looks plated in pics but hard to tell sometimes..
      Love it :-)

      It is marked sterling. My grandfather was quite a wealthy man.

      I've seen a lot of cigarette cases and this one definitely falls into the cigarette case category. Very nice indeed!
