I need help identifying the maker of this silver cigarette case. Can anyone help me? I think it is really a nice piece but would like to know more about it.
Thank you for any help.

Mark might be Japanese

I lived in Japan when I was a kid. The mark looks to be Japanese. The design also looks oriental. Do you know how old the cigarette case is?

Hope this helps / Cheers / Mgfrd

Hello,

I believe this is it, if so it is by the Thomae Co. of Attleboro, Massachusetts. They also used another version of this mark that is quite a bit more angular.

Cheers,
