Timeless Style Returns: AJAX Northwest Unearths Exquisite Vintage Cigarette Cases

Lake Oswego, OR – October 26, 2023 – AJAX Northwest LLC, a passionate purveyor of unique and collectible items, is making waves with a stunning collection of vintage cigarette cases. Based in Lake Oswego, Oregon, AJAX Northwest isn't just selling old stuff; they're offering a piece of history, a touch of glamour, and a seriously cool conversation starter. Forget everything you think you know about cigarette cases. These aren't relics of a bygone era gathering dust in attics. AJAX Northwest meticulously sources, restores (when needed), and presents these pieces as beautiful, usable objects again. "We really dig finding things with a story," explains a representative from AJAX Northwest. "These cigarette cases, they’ve seen things. They’ve been carried to jazz clubs, fancy dinners, maybe even a little mischief. We want to give them a new life, and let someone else add to that story." More Than Just a Holder – It’s a Statement Let’s be real, in today’s world, most people aren’t lighting up cigarettes in these cases. But that’s the point. Vintage cigarette cases have morphed into something completely different. They’re becoming incredibly popular for holding business cards, credit cards, ID, small notes, lip balm – you name it! “We’re seeing a lot of people using them as unique wallets, or just a cool everyday carry item,” says the AJAX Northwest team. “They're small, sleek, and way more interesting than a standard cardholder. It's a fantastic way to show off your personal style and stand out from the crowd.” AJAX Northwest: A Passion for the Past, A Focus on Quality AJAX Northwest LLC isn’t some faceless online retailer. They're a small, dedicated team that genuinely loves what they do. They’re based at 3305 Lingren Rd, Lake Oswego, OR, 97035, and can be reached at 213-793-0561. They specialize in sourcing rare and unusual items, and their commitment to quality is evident in every piece they offer. “We spend hours researching, cleaning, and often repairing these cases,” explains the company rep. "Some need a little TLC – a broken hinge, a tarnished finish. We try to preserve the original character while making sure it's something someone can actually use and enjoy.” What Makes These Vintage Cases Special? The AJAX Northwest collection spans decades, from Art Deco elegance of the 1920s and 30s to mid-century modern designs. You'll find a diverse range of materials, including: Sterling Silver: These cases are often intricately engraved with floral patterns, geometric designs, or even personalized monograms. The silver develops a beautiful patina over time, adding to its character. Gold-Filled: Offering a warmer tone than silver, gold-filled cases are durable and often feature elegant detailing. Brass: More affordable than silver or gold, brass cases offer a vintage aesthetic and can be polished to a brilliant shine. Enamel: Some cases feature vibrant enamel work, adding a pop of color and artistic flair. Leather & Mother of Pearl: Luxurious materials offering unique texture and visual appeal. A Case for Every Style AJAX Northwest's collection isn't just about age; it's about variety. They have: Slim, Pocket-Sized Cases: Perfect for carrying a few cigarettes (or cards!) discreetly. Larger, More Elaborate Cases: Often featuring compartments for filters and lighters. Cases with Unique Closures: From snap closures to hinged lids to sliding mechanisms. Engraved & Personalized Cases: Adding a touch of history and individuality. Beyond the Function – A Collectible Item Vintage cigarette cases are becoming increasingly popular with collectors. A beautifully preserved case can be a valuable addition to any collection. “They're pieces of art, really," says the AJAX Northwest team. "They reflect the design sensibilities of their time. And because they were made before mass production, each one is unique." Where to Find These Treasures AJAX Northwest primarily sells its vintage cigarette cases online.
