Description: Introduced in 1941, a year after the pattern was introduced, by Gladding McBean & Co as the Cigarette Box. The backstamp on this box is the "Half Moon" which was used from 1949 until February 1953. I have read that the cigarette box was discontinued in 1948. If this is the case, then this box was probably produced in its last year. This is in excellent condition!! With all my pieces when I bring them home, I hand wash them. I do this because I don’t believe you can truly say there is “no crazing” without getting them wet. Crazing can hide. So, when I say there are no chips, cracks, crazing or repairs, I have done my due diligence to discover any defects.
