Cigarette Case 1945

Postby NGP » Mon Aug 29, 2011 5:31 am

I'm trying to determine the maker of this cigarette case.
Image
It measures approx 8cm x 6cm x 1cm.
Image
It is stamped with the Sterling Silver and Date stamp in the lid and has the following set of marks in the base.
Image
I believe the maker might by Johnson Matthey but I'm not certain whether they were producing consumer goods in 1945 in Birmingham.
Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.

My references show that mark for J. Moseley & Company.
Entered at Birmingham in January 1921.

Pat,

Thank you for that information. Now I can do a little chasing on the company.

Regards

Neil
