Hi Lisa,

According to Rainwater, the business first appears as Walter Hunold in 1903. In c.1920 listed as Nussbaum & Hunold (B.Nussbaum, W. Hunold, and J. Nussbaum). From 1921 to 1926 they appear to have reverted the name back to Walter Hunold.

I guess it's safe to assume that your case was made around 1920.



The firm are also noted as users of the trade name 'NUSSHOLD'.
