What the...What? (#5) Revealed!

Thank you to everyone who made a guess on our most recent What the...What post.  A lot of people guessed that it was a toothpick holder and we also had a guess that our item held paper long ago.  Well, the wait is over.  Our item was an old cigarette holder. 




Rotate the dial and a cigarette pops out and is held in the curved arms you see here.   For those who thought this was a toothpick holder, I'll vouch that the opening is much, much too big - you would have 50 toothpicks come out at once.



Here is another example of a vintage cigarette holder with a dial on the side.  This one has its ashtray attached in front.
