Description:
Hugh Trumble's Cigarette Box Holder: Metal spring-loaded box designed to hold a cigarette packet, made by Jigger Limited, engraved on front with initials 'Ht', and with a fob chain - looks as if Hugh Trumble was habitually leaving his smokes behind. Trumble played 32 Tests 1890-1904, including two as Australian captain, one of only three men to have taken two Test hat-tricks. Australian Test Player No.59. Interesting note - the box is just larger than the size of a cigarette card, as these were originally issued by tobacco manufacturers to stiffen cigarette packaging and advertise cigarette brands
