vintage player’s navy cut tin – rusted charm with seafaring spirit
A relic from Britain’s tobacco heritage, worn to perfection and ready for reinvention.

An authentic mid-20th century cigarette tin from John Player & Sons, featuring their iconic “Navy Cut” branding and bold sailor’s crest. This piece once held 50 medium-size cigarettes and now carries the rich patina of decades gone by.

The faded black coating, rusted surface, and fragments of gold interior lining give this piece an undeniable character. Its stamped lettering—“Cigarettes Medium 50”—remains just visible beneath the wear. Inside the lid, the printed John Player signature and logo are joined by graphite marks from a previous owner—adding an extra layer of history and intrigue.

Perfect as a styling object in a vintage vignette, man cave, or industrial shelf display. A brilliant prop piece or storage box for small creative tools or ephemera.
