Antique Handmade "Filipino" cigarette case with a letter to the owner included on the listing. The case was a gift for Mr. Benjamin McKinley birthday (first cousin of President William McKinley). Mr. McKinley is a native of San Francisco. He was born July 26, 1874, the son of Benjamin F. McKinley, for many years connected with the Postoffice Department, and of Mary A. (Daly) McKinley.- "For thirteen consecutive years Benjamin L. McKinley was in the United States District Attorney’s office at San Francisco. During this period, starting in with the rank of assistant United States attorney, he advanced himself to the position of chief assistant, and finally to the United States attorneyship itself. Such a record can stand-alone.
Mr McKinley was appointed to the United States Attorney’s office, Northern District of California, on July 26, 1901, by the late President McKinley. From the outset he was successful in prosecuting actions, both civil and criminal, and the records of the office disclose hundreds of instance in which he won signal victories at bar. He handled all legal matters pertaining to the Postoffice Department within his jurisdiction, most of the work of the United States Secret Service, the more important Customs cases and a great deal of miscellaneous actions. He served under three United States Attorney, Marshall B. Woodworth, Robert T. Devlin and John L. McNab. On January 1, 1911, he became chief assistant, by appointment; then on June 26, 1913, following the resignation of McNab from the office, Mr. McKinley was appointed McNab’s successor by United States District Judge William C. Van Fleet. Six months later, after filling the office with general satisfaction, he resigned and was succeeded in turn by John W. Preston, the present U. S. Attorney."

The case in excellent vintage condition. The box probably is not the original but fit it and protect it properly. The letter's paper looks old and yellow but still good.
