Lit Cigarette Producer by Preston & Petersen

This is truly a time capsule! This is a cigarette dropper from 1923 that lights each cigarette as it is being dropped. It is made by Bill Preston and Ray Petersen's company Preston & Petersen Precision Magic Products (P&P).

I'm not sure if you can find a battery to fit the battery compartment these days, but this is definitely an interesting item regardless. Unsure if the lighting mechanism works.
