This vintage wood mechanical donkey cigarette dispenser is a unique addition to any collection of tobacciana. Handmade in the United States, it is a rare find for collectors of vintage tobacco items. The dispenser is designed to hold and dispense cigarettes, and the mechanical donkey provides a fun and engaging way to get your hands on your favorite tobacco products. "Tug" on the donkey's ear and out pops a cigarette from the other end!  I don't smoke so didn't have any real cigarettes to use, so I cut a small wood dowel to show that it does work as intended (see video).  Obviously handmade with hand-painted details, there is no maker's mark.  The base measures 11" x 3"  The donkey itself is about 8-1/2" x 5-1/4" not counting the cigarette box on his back.  That adds another 2" plus 1" for the handle.  He is 2" wide at the head and his ear protrudes a bit more.  This item is perfect for those who are looking for something unique and charming, and it is sure to be a conversation starter. Truly a one-of-a-kind piece!
