Hello Cigarette. Maker unknown, ca. 1940s–50s.
Commercially produced version of the classic cigarette-from-matchbox effect. The performer pantomimes rolling an imaginary cigarette, then removes a matchbox and strikes a match. As the imaginary cigarette is brought to the lips, a genuine cigarette unexpectedly appears and is lit.
Includes the original illustrated box, prepared Sexton safety matchbox, gimmick, and illustrated instructions. Box and instructions show age and handling wear; overall very good condition.
