Re: Please help with that crest!!!
It's not a "family" or "royal" crest; it looks like the monogram EV (or VE) with an imperial crown over the top of it.
I don't think it's identifiable heraldry at all.
Sorry!

Hi,
Royal cipher (monogram surmounted by a crown). Few can be identified - there are hundreds.The crown itself does not help much (e.g. the crown of Austrian Archdukes, German Grand dukes). Royal houses intermingled in Europe. Besides, it does not mean the cigarette case actually belonged to the member of royal family. Huge number of presentation cases was given as a token for minor services to royalty.
For example: Royal monograms of Germany take a look here

Good luck with the search. Start with royalty closest to your country.

As far as I can see it`s a cigarette case, not a snuffbox.
Royal courts from Eastern Europe often commissioned silver from Germany, Austria and Hungary (after WW I).
