Offered in this lot is a Round Up Cigars advertising Lite-O-Phone manufactured by the Midwest Map Company. These Lite-O-Phones were used by many different company's to advertise products and were typically set in common places like hotel lobbies. The Lite-O-Phone is plugged into a standard 110 volt socket and upon picking up the headset the lighter will heat up allowing your cigar or cigarette to be lit. This Lite-O-Phone shows an advertisement for Round Up cigars from Celestino Costello & Co which was the top cigar manufacturer in New York during the late 1890's. Their crate packing read "10,000 Round Up Cigars" which is present in the advertisement on the back of the phone. The front ad shows a cowboy sitting next to the lake with his horse and fire enjoying a Round Up cigar. The Lite-O-Phone is in very good condition for its age with minor loss of finish mostly to the lighting mechanism. The cigar lighter has been tested and does work. It measures 10.5" x 7.5" x 11".
