It is a tiki cigarette dispenser. The top part is an ashtray that lifts up, allowing the smoker to fill the inside of the tiki with cigarettes. There is a bottom pull-out piece of wood with a groove in it. A single cigarette will fall into the groove. This item is fairly old, because it can use only the shorter unfiltered cigarettes. The ones people smoke today are just too long to fit into this tiki dispenser. I don't smoke, so I placed a Mai Kai floaty pen where the cigarette would normally be retrieved for illustration purposes. Vern
