It has been decorated with a geometric Art Deco design on the front and back, the front opens to reveal a set of compartments for cigars (or cigarettes), a lighter or matches and a striker that could â in a pinch â also be used as an ashtray. Two compartments can be removed,(ashtray and striker) as shown. This is an ORIGINAL, as shown by the imprint of the words âCOLTâS PATENT FIREARMS MFG. CO HARTFORD CONNâ found when the striker compartment is removed. This âbookâ measures 6 1/2 inches tall, five inches across and 1 3/8 inches thick. The Colt Plastics Division didnât last long and was sold during World War II as the company concentrated on gun manufacturing for the military. [/color]
