Lucille Ball’s Crystal Cigarette Box

This ornate crystal cigarette box was used by Lucille Ball and Gary Morton to hold their favorite ciggies. It features an etched line pattern with brass hinges and trim along with a sold brass rose handle.

In 1974 The Sunday Times Magazine interviewed Lucille Ball and did a spread at home for their coverstory entitled, “The eternal Lucy show” where the box is visible on a side table in her Beverly Hills sitting room. The crystal lighter we featured in a previous post can also be seen next to this holder.

Lucille Ball’s Tano Cigarette Case

This faux tortoise plastic cigarette case was owned and used by Lucille Ball, circa 1970’s. Made by Tano of Madrid, it measures four inches tall and has a spring loaded push button closure. The Philip Morris cigarettes inside where not Lucy’s and used for display purposes only – a nod to the original sponsor of I Love Lucy.
