Very unique and interesting cigar cutter, decorated with the wildest fantasy creature. A nude woman-something: could be a mermaid, spider-lady, bat-woman. You've got me. But I surely couldn't resist such a fabulous creation! Very Art Nouveau floral decoration also. The mechanism works just fine. Condition is good; there is a break at the base of the circular border of 'her' wings. I decided not to have it soldered, as this little collectable's value may actually be compromised by a repair. A fine piece of tobacciana!
Dimensions: a good sized cutter, 4 5/8" long, 1.75" at the widest, weight 45 grams. Bears Sheibler's mark, and "Sterling".
