Vintage Spring Loaded Wooden Cigarette Dispenser with Scottie Dog design

This beautifully crafted wooden cigarette dispenser features an ingenious spring-loaded mechanism. The box is constructed from light-colored wood (likely pine or similar) with elegant dark wood diamond inlay patterns running along the borders.
The dispenser operates via a clever mechanical system - when activated, the carved Scottie dog figure pops up and pushes a cigarette forward through the slot. The dog’s head is meticulously hand-painted with black eyes and a pink tongue, giving it personality and charm. The interior shows well-crafted wooden mechanics with springs and rails that guide the cigarettes.
The box shows appropriate age patina and minor wear consistent with a genuine vintage piece, adding to its authentic character. The craftsmanship demonstrates the quality woodworking typical of mid-20th century novelty items.
