Interesting Chi Omega Ebay Item....

[thetalady]

Hi ladies... I found the most interesting thing on Ebay today. It is marked Chi Omega. They call it a Smoke Box, but I don't know what it might be. I thought you might be interested. I've never seen anything like it for any GLO. It is NOT identified correctly, so it is easily missed. A collector just bid, but he doesnt' usually bid high.

"This set is in mint unused condition and the original box!!! Found in an old warehouse and has never been used period! Made by the "Roto Tray Company Chicago" (see photo of bottom) and sold by "Brochon Chicago House Of Favors" (see photo of box). Just a fantastic old bakelite set that has Fraternity markings on the top. The left compartment is for box matches and the middle is for cigarette storage while the right side has a lift out ashtray of metal. "

wow! What an interesting item. I would love to know it's history.
An advisor of my active chapter collects old Chi O things, and has a cigarette holder. Pretty neat if you ask me.
