Art Nouveau Cigarette case with initials GS from the 1910s

Beautiful old silver-plated and inside gold-plated cigarette case made of Alpacca silver by HOKA Hohmann & Katz in Pforzheim.

It dates from the Art Nouveau period in the 1910s.

The initials GS are engraved in the middle of the front side.

A wonderful gift for connoisseurs.

Metal, silver-plated, Alpacca

Size 8 x 8.5 x 1 cm (3,14 x 3,3 x 0,39 inches)

Unfortunately a little small for business cards. My mother had diverted it from its intended use as a wallet. See last photo.

Still very pretty for its age, but of course with signs of wear and patina.
