This is a wonderful desk or bar piece, created in Germany during the Bauhaus Art Deco period, back in 1935. This is a very rare gilt-metal barman mechanical cigarettes dispenser box which has 25 movable cyclinders to fit the cigarettes into. It is Art Deco in design and crafted in solid steel, brass, aluminium and nickel. The barman stands behind a faux burl bar and counter, surrounded by six cocktail shakers and bar glasses. When you lift the bartender it reveals a flower form of holders for cigarettes. A fun conversation starter. The ones I have seen on line are going for twice the price.
