From the art deco age, this vintage silver cigarette case is enameled in a cherry red color. The front has a diamond pattern, the back is just the red enameling.

It measures 3 1/4" long and 2" wide, not including the clasp. The clasp works well to open the case with a gentle push. The interior of the case is washed in a gold color. Engraved on the left upper side in German is "Vergiss mein nicht" and a name I believe to be Nathan. The case is marked STERLING on the bottom right interior edge. The translation means "Forget me not". Most likely a gift from an ardent admirer.

I believe this to be European, due to the engraving and from about the 1920's.

There is some wear to the enameling most notably on the front and wear to the edges. Light tarnish to the silver.

I look forward to answering any questions you may have.
