Open it, and the years are waiting inside.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA vintage English cigarette case by Sylva Chrome under the EMU brand, with a particularly striking Art Deco-style engine-turned front. Deep rippling lines spread outward in a dramatic fanburst from the lower centre, framed by finely textured geometric side panels and a small polished rectangular cartouche. The cartouche remains blank and unmonogrammed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reverse changes character completely, carrying a restrained all-over engine-turned pattern divided by clean linear borders. The chrome exterior is exceptionally well preserved and presents with a bright, crisp finish; the fanburst remains sharply defined and highly reflective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe polished interior retains its original black elastic retaining assembly. It is stamped “SYLVA CHROME,” “EMU,” and “MADE IN ENGLAND,” providing a firm maker, brand, and country attribution. Further patent wording is also present, though no precise production date is claimed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe case has been used despite its remarkably fresh exterior. Interior scratching, small dark marks, and green oxidation around the retaining-band anchor are visible. These signs of use are confined principally to the interior and are documented clearly in the photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Particulars:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker \/ brand: Sylva Chrome, EMU Brand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: England; stamped “MADE IN ENGLAND”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Chromed metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront: Art Deco-style rippling fanburst engine turning with geometric textured side panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartouche: Small polished rectangular reserve, blank and unmonogrammed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverse: Fine all-over geometric engine turning with linear borders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior: Polished chrome with original black elastic retaining assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Very good exterior condition with crisp engine turning and only slight age-related surface wear.
