I have not seen many of these, but the story about it is valid. These little gifts were given out for various occasions. Some Japanese dealers gave plated car / cigarette cases away as gifts for buying a Z. They are collected seriously in Japan and come in gold, silver, and bronze plating. Thought you model freaks out there would like to see some of these. I would love one.

SHHHHHHH its MINE!!! Get off! Get off!

Hey, Hey, Hey there Puppy,

Hey Anybody know anything more about these cigarette tray die casts?

There was a 240z on abay Australia, (that ebay link may have been it, but its no longer valid). I've also seen a Datsun 1200 (sunny) sedan, and a nissan 300ZX, and a toyota corona. All gold plated ones.

Any more info appreciated.
