Silversmith ? Sterling Matche's Case

[Vale]

HI all,

I assume this case is for matches. It is small (5 cm tall when closed) and pretty thin. Made in silver (sterling) and possibly from early 20th Century. Mark suggests it is German but I really don't know. Ideas? Thank you !

Hi Vale,

No, it's another American-made item, this time by Watrous Mfg. Co.
