This is a very rare antique Japanese army commemorative tobacco container and ashtray set. It is made in the shape of an artillery shell, with a golden kite perched on top of the shell. There's a pair of flags and some cherry blossoms, and the words "Glory of the Nation" in the center. The words at the bottom are "Commemoration". The set is in three parts - the lid, the main body, which is where you put the leaf tobacco, and the bottom, which serves as an ashtray with two indents for cigarettes. The words "Trademarked design" are embossed on the bottom.

Condition: Mint

Size: 6.5" tall x 3.5" at the base
