Bob1Dog Inner circle Wife: It's me or this houseful of 1159 Posts |
I'm not sure where else to post this, so I'll try it here. I wonder if anyone might know of a source I might make use of to identify an old Mikame Craft wood cigarette vanish box? I mean really old. The identifying marks are 'Crafted by Mikame Craft in what appears to be a rubber stamp in blue ink. It's got some primitive inlays on the both sides of the box and is meant to hold "regular" sized unfiltered cigarettes, making it fairly vintage I'd think.
Anyplace I might find it somewhere to determine period, value, etc? Any help or advice appreciated.
What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about?
My neighbor rang my doorbell at 2:30 a.m. this morning, can you believe that, 2:30 a.m.!? Lucky for him I was still up playing my drums. |

Can you attach photographs of the item, including the Mikame markings on the item. Mikame Craft can be easily identified by it's distinct wood quality and design. I am a collector of Mikame and maybe able to help.

@ Writer; @ MileLiu, sorry, just seeing your responses today. David's opinion was this:
"I have had a look at the photographs and have done some research and have come to the following conclusions: The wood used is the type used by Mikame Craft, however the box appears to have been varnished, which is not typical of an original product produced. The markings “Crafted by Mikame Craft” was placed on early Mikame items. The wood finish on the rear of the internal wood slider that is attached to the handle is not of the quality as expected by Mikame Craft magic. This is not to say someone after purchase has not detached the two and re-joined them. Also I have not seen the front design type on any other Mikame products, old or recent. As a result, I am sorry to say that I cannot confirm one way or the other that it is a genuine Mikame product. More research would be required. Thank you for the opportunity to research it for you. Good luck."

I would like to add that my opinion regarding the old Mikame Craft wood cigarette was based on photographs only.
To confirm if it is truly an old original Mikame item, it would need to be physically examined. My opinion was also based on comparing my original Mikame Craft Magic items (I have 50 in my collection) and my extensive research on-line. David |
