Searching for a vintage flask (and cigarette cases)

[Katydid]

Hey guys. I'm just gonna throw this question into the void. I'm looking for a vintage flask and cigarette holder for a gift. Something in silver or white gold preferably. So.....vintage.....how to spot it, how much is too much, and where can I find something in good condition? Back to good old ebay? or not? And if you guys have flasks or cigarette cases you'd like to show off, be my guest! I like to keep my eye out for compacts so I enjoy looking at similar items.

Trocadero is a good place to browse. A lot of the cigarette cases are monogrammed. And, vintage flasks are often not in usable condition.

Another recent gift I was given; this vintage cigarette case; open view, in minty condition, all hinges and latches work, looks like new.

closed view in perfect working condition (monogram area hasn't even been engraved), pearlized handle pocket knife (interesting design up close)
