Reuge Lipstick/Cigarette Case
By Susan Robinson

Greetings.  Have been reading about the Reuge Lipstick/Cigarette case.
Have been familiar with them for some time.  A while back I found a
similar item - a wooden, six-sided model.  Stands about 10" high.  The
base is about 7.5" wide.  There is a thin inlaid band around the base.

The item plays "Baby Face" when opening and "I'm an airman" on closing.
There is no name on the movement or the winding key.  The movement just
says "Swiss".  The whole box is wood except the movement.  Does anyone
have any idea about who the manufacturer might be or any other
information?

Thanks so much for your help.  (By the way, kids love to come over and
see the doors open.  I usually keep candy inside for them.)
