Another little car found at the markets. I like the planishing on this one. The mark is on the press button "LW" within two circles. Looked the mark up and found out the firm was in Pforzheim, "in the state of Baden-Württemberg, southwest Germany at the gate to the Black Forest. It is world-famous for its jewelry and watch-making industry. ." Wikipedia.
They were known as 'Pforzheimer Bestedt und Silberwaren – Fabrik'
Found some amazing original advertisements for these cigarette cases here:

I found there a maker for a gold bag yesterday. No one had seen the item on CW for two years! So many items are just lost in our collections. They need revisiting every once in a while.
The gold bag was amazing:

It was on that page when I was looking for the mark on cigarette case. I'd seen it earlier in the morning when Rhomiatu had pick up on it.
I was rocked when I saw it here:
