Thank you very much for viewing this item on Mercari. This item is a pair of two rare, retro, empty Golden Bat cigarette boxes from the pre-war Greater Japanese Empire Monopoly Bureau, priced at 7 sen each. Golden Bat was originally manufactured for the Chinese market, and therefore features a bat design, which is considered a messenger of good fortune in China. There are various price and design differences depending on the era. These boxes are over 90 years old. These rare, retro Golden Bat empty boxes could be used as a stylish item by putting modern short cigarettes inside, and I believe they would be well-received. I hope that those who are interested, and the occasional overseas collectors who purchase them, will be able to feel the atmosphere of the time in their hands. Thank you for your consideration.
