I believe this sterling silver 14K Gold inlaid cigarette case dates back to the 1920’s or 1930’s. This is well made but the manufacturer’s name is missing; the only markings pertain to gold and silver content and are highlighted in one of the photos. Not sure what the 168 stands for.
Watrous Mfg. Co. ~ Wallingford, Connecticut. 1896 - present. Maybe they can tell you about the significance of the number ???

Surprised they chose not to mark their product. I’ll do some research and see if I can get additional information from the company.
That CW is their mark.

It’s a beauty !!!
Thanks vetraio50-
It makes sense that the manufacturer of this case would want to identify it as one of their products. I overlooked the CW. Perhaps the 168 refers 5o the model of this particular case.
